Can anyone tell me the performance figures (0-60 etc) for the 2004 Roadster me and the missus have just purchased.
Love the car, had 2 x mk2 mr2s but the roadster really handles!
Thanks

Toyota' s figure for a 6 speed manual, in stock trim, 0 - 62mph, is 8.0 secs. (As you often begin accelerating from a rolling start, time to 60 can seem much shorter.) Max speed (same source) 131mph.
Evo magazine timed the 0-60 at 7.2 seconds.
and when mine was stock i managed to beat the 7.2, iirc Dan had 6.1
just go turbo, i had 4.5 out of mine s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
5.65 secs actually s8) 8) s8)
my mistake speedy gonzales

s:shock: :shock: s:shock: Stock?! Was that down hill!
he farted and the extra octane gave him a boost s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
With a few choice mods (see below) I managed to measure mine at 6.5 a couple of times, and 7 a couple of other times.

Heh, I cheated as that wasn't stock, but it was pre-turbo. I never bothered getting any timed runs before that as I didn't own a G-Tech RR before s;) ;) s;)
how about the mr2 made in year 2000? Mine's that and its only got 5 gears, I haven't really timed it myself but has anyone else know how this one compare to the 6-speed one?
same power same gearing
fractionally smaller rolling radious tyres, less weight
so maybe a hair faster but there shouldn't be much in it

Doesnt 'look' as fast though s:) :) s:)
That's because you've got it in the wrong colour. s:wink: :wink: s:wink: s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Oh dont start that one again .. lol s:) :) s:) everyone knows that Wabbitkiller's RED is the fastest looking s:) :) s:)
Maybe we should try and organise a club event to santa pod? See what 0-60 times we can all get there?
Get a few stockers along too and get some official MR2ROC figures.

well volunteered that man :-) :-) :-)
you could bring yours for the Stocker Mark, bet you'll still have it by then as well s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
what car mag figured the 2000 roadster at 6.9secs
It would seem the factory number are a tad conservative.

Cool... I'll post up a thread and find out who is intersted and try and get an idea of the prices.. Should be a good day out.

The quarter mile stretch of road outside my house is still closed for a couple more weeks s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
I read an article online which stated the "unofficial" time of the 6 speed roadster was 6.9 seconds.
I don't know what truth there is in that, and I don't know how much the ratios have changed between the 5 and 6 speed.
Still, I have to say, mines "feels" a fair bit faster than 8 seconds to 60mph!
ratios on 5 and 6 speed are identical
the 6 just gets 1 extra higher gear
The UK 6 speed and 5 speed have the same ratios up to 5.
The J-Spec car has loower ratios, but you might have to change one more change which affects the time.
Quote from: "RiZzah"I don't know what truth there is in that, and I don't know how much the ratios have changed between the 5 and 6 speed.
The first five gears are identical, just an added overdrive (6th).
The J-spec and US gearboxes have shorter gearing for better acceleration, however, so be careful where you read figures.. they will be different on each side of the pond s;) ;) s;)
(man, I'm being beaten to the punch left right & center today!)

Hey that's got a link to the old Yahoo list. I wonder what my old password was.
