Well if you are going to ask the question at least get the car right. It is a 1990 to 1997 Turbo. Same car. Of course the MR2 will win. Now may I point out the search feature on this site. That question has been done to death.

We only got them here 91-95 And the 2nd gen Turbos are faster than any Fiero, stock-for-stock.

Good luck finding a 91-95 Mr2 turbo. They sell for like 10,000 with over 150,000 miles. When compaing a 88 GT vs a 88 4AGZE supercharged MR2 IMO I would go with a fiero, but Im baised. Go for the one that you can find cheaper for a better price as they are similar. For me, I cant even fit in a Mr2 so that rules that one out.

If you've been to our website 'trueleo.com' you've seen that we build stuff for both cars. Allthough I hate to admit it, a good running MR2 will kick a good running Fiero's butt. As for that other question "What weighs more, a ton of feathers or a ton of bricks?" If ungrouped and dropped one at a time, on your head, you tell me..........

Why Troy parted out the car? I saw in in Kingston 2003 and it was sweet. I wish i knew sooner about the parting out....all the good stuff is sold...

I would have to say, that if "thumbs up" were exchange at the end of the race, both would drive away winners.
thats up there with my teacher "we're all winners in life"
as for my belief stock the mr2's are gonna win 9/10 times but fully modded (engine swap) i think we'd do better but then again I dont know of any mr2 engine swaps...

There's lots, mostly 4AGZE's and 3SGTE's. Bill Strong is working on a Northstar swap into a mk1, he's almost done last I checked. I think Fieros have a lot more potential, though, but the original topic was "stock" vehicles.

I tried my hardest to not even look at this thread... But alas, I couldn't stand not seeing all of the hilarious, extremely sarcastic comments. Hey greengoblin, why don't you just race one yourself and see? After all, you're asking us to compare specs, which don't really mean too much out in the real world, when basically, it comes down to driver skill... Go race an MR2, and see what happens, ok?

I was going to comment on what you did. I wouldn't even make a statement like that, never know what any ones packing under the hood
If he guarantee's that he's better than he better be in the low 10's or high 9's because there are some MR2 in the 11's. I have not heard of a Fiero in the 10's. Best ive seen were a few northstars in the 12's..... sadly with automatics.....where is the fun there.....
Nos don't count either. Bottles are for babies.

i actually beat a Mk1 MR2 in a hillclimb last year, just, since it was in a 2.5 I think it was more down to me knowing the track and the other guy not, than anything else.
As an MR2 owner i have never understood why so many people choose to buy an automatic fiero. 98% of the Mr2's out there are stick. When i look for a nice mr2, i know it will be a stick. It bums me out when i see a sweet 88gt fiero and it has an automatic. Fun small cars need to be enoyed to their fullest with a stick shift....

Martin I hear you man, I'm stuck with an automatic Fiero. The 3-speed is horrible. Who were the people who bought all these Fieros with automatics back in '84-'88? I can understand them in like 1984 with it being strictly a commuter car...but with the V6? I've came across many Fieros that I would have made an offer on (in the mall), mostly '88 GT's and Formulas, and they all turned out to be automatic. Also if you look at autotrader at all every Fiero on it, I swear it doesn't matter what location you search in, they're all automatics.
Oh btw martin its nice to have an open and polite MR2 owner like you on the forum. Very refreshing after seeing jaygt with his antics. I like MR2's and Fieros, they're both great cars and mid-engine and are a great platform to build on. Not to mention the 2nd gen's look a lot like a Fiero GT. I'd say Fiero vs. MR2, most V6 Fieros would beat 1st gen and n/a 2nd gen MR2's. Supercharged or turbo MR2's can probably beat most stock Fieros. Modified its tough to compare because of the variety of things that can be done to the cars. It would be interesting if the Fiero continued and wasn't cancelled, the 2 cars would probably stack up nicely against eachother as new models.
