Smile Stock 2004 v6 convertible vs. 2002 Toyota MR 2 Spyder?

Ok, I have a question hopefully someone here can answer...

*IF* an automatic Mustang v6 stock 2004 Convertible was paired up against a 2002 Toyota MR 2 convertible Spyder with 5 speed sequential manual transmission, who do you think would stand the better chance?

The Spyder is lighter with a v4 and less hp, so I'm curious?

i would guess the mr2 spyder...they are light little buggers(2200~) with about 140hp(crank), compared to your 3300~lb convertable with 190hp(crank).

The v6 mustang will mop it badly!!! the newer MR2's only have 118ish HP at the Wheels! Considering they are a inline 4 cyl mid-engine they dont really have any "get-up and go" at all. We recently did a turbo kit on one for a customer and let me say this....it will wake that like 118hp car up alot!

Final thaught...v6 mustang=1 MR2 spyder=0

i duno those MR2's tend to be kinda quick for what they are . .

and a stock auto vert split port v6 is looking at 16's in the 1/4 . . .

upon further review of the play we're looking at a 2200lb car with 138hp vs a 3200lb car with 193 hp, so MR2 = ~16lbs per HP and v6 mustang is ~ 17lbs per HP

so the MR2 has a better power:weigh ratio, although the mustang has like 225tq were as the MR2 has like 115 lol

RACE AND FIND OUT PLZ KTHX

The Celica GT and GT-S carried a new 130-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Most Celica models were front-wheel drive, with either 5-speed manual shift or a 4-speed automatic. The All-Trac (permanently engaged 4-wheel-drive) edition employed a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and came only with manual shift.
If it's the non FI celica..it has 130BHP and 140FTLB

Front wheel drive, automatic..less torque AND HP than you (if it's stock)
According to this: http://auto.consumerguide.com/Auto/U...reviewshowall/

Can't figure out how much it weighs, but I'm going to have to say you should have a fair chance at winning

The gt's were 140hp and the GT-S came with 185hp......base from the factory. Back in the early 90's i think is when they had the AWD turbo celica which still wasnt that quick at all....a v6 mustang would beat it! As far as runing your friends '93 GTS Auto....i wouldnt even waste your time with it! It would be like you playing basketball with a 10 y/o kid in a wheel chair....you would smoke him.
