Message	JDM engine with the ceramic turbo at first, then he upgraded to a ct20b... I've run with him many times, before and after the turbo swap... he has the exhaust, raised boost, etc., lots of other goodies just like your friend there... he figures to be at the 280-300fwhp area, which sounds about right... The JDM turbo engine is like 255hp... I have just a catback exhaust and intake on my TTZ, but I can still dominate him... He gets the jump on me off the line cuz he's so light and the MR2 is a really punchy car, but by the time I've shifted into third, the car length he's gained is gone, I've caught up really quick and then blow by him into 4th gear. So in conclusion... maybe it's driving skills? Work on your launches, and definitely get a good exhaust. Makes for a wonderful difference. tommunist
