MR2 Turbo vs M5

[Mad-Matt]

Well not an english story, but still nice.

As the mr2 turbo aint really well known in Holland, only 50 or so in the whole country (17mil. inhabitants) most people think they can beat the mr2.

Well on a sunny day still with my big ass Rotora carbon wing (now replaced for a 98 spec) I was cruising a bit, bored as hell.

Then in my rearview mirror I saw an old square-boxed bmw 5-series.
Not knowing what it was, i moved over to the next lane and he stopped next to me, we gave each other a nod as a sign the fun had started.

Not knowing that my fast and the furious looking tupperware car had a 244rwhp engine in the back of it he reved his engine to impress me.

Lights jumped to green and we where off, I got a head start and he moved from next to me to behind me to a little dot in my mirror

I slowed down, he passed me, then I saw the M sign on the back.
We had a little chat (he was really impressed) and we went our own way.

Japanese cars rule

Yes, but losing around 20% to the rear wheels and carrying close to 2 tons!
