I've had all three of these ..the MR2 Spyder is so much better out of the box it isn't even funny. They weigh less than anything that isn't a lotus Elise or HF crx. Somehow 138 of mr2s ponies are more powerful than Mazda's "150" of the era and the wheelbase is the perfect length for stability with mid engine turn in still present. It drives like you thought an aw11 would. With a 2zzge it's about perfect imo. I love the way a ae86 and na feel, but in terms of speed or grip it's not even close and it takes a fortune to get close to a stock mrs
1ZZFE is pretty great for what it is. It’s pretty torquey down low and although it doesn’t have a lot of top end, it’s helped in large part by its VVTI system really maximizing how it uses it’s power compared to the other two cars.
MRS out of the box would eat all of them stock for stock, slept on cars. I wonder how my fully built AW11 SC would go as upgraded id probably be about 175 WHP.
think about it this way- there is a reason why we are stuck on 10K views. the introduction preamble format is based off of cable television: 20minutes of content with 10minutes of advertising/sponsorship. that’s why tiktok, instagram reels, and youtube shorts hold your attention and interest so much more- the format of is much more mentally engaging to a broader audience. this something i want to play in the background of a doctors office in comparison next to the canceled road and track or car and driver magazine subscription. Hagerty gets around it with gen z video editing, Throttle House use humor, Jason Camissa tries a bit to hard to be off putting and funny, Larry Chen finds unknown worlds, Savagegeese flexes technical detail and odd humor, Speed Academy are great people, Gears and Gasoline is just good fun.

What if you brought on a unnamed “professional” like the stig to drive the cars separately. That would give a more accurate description of the capability of each vehicle. The guests on the show can learn from feedback the professional is giving and everyone can improve. Someone who can articulate why this car won over that would make it more engaging and leave less people wondering about what ifs
I think I have the secret for the perfect Spyder, I have been working on the balance for years and I have it. My 1zz is stock and that's the way I like it. I would be very confident to up against Simons car.

Ughhhh you had to pick Yuni to drive a miata... She is an awful driver, I mean absolutely awful. Yeah she's a girl and instagram popular but gosh darn it... For references her car is set up similar to mine she was in mid 1:30's I think she was putting down 1:32. something meanwhile I'm setting 1:28's at streets, same day, similar set-ups, she had a plague of people constantly surrounding her coaching her cause girl power and all that jazz.... Sighhhh.... And I'm not the absolute best driver... There is room to do more. Put somebody else in the seat and it could shave alot of time down.
And so.. the legend of the Red Comet MR-S is now public knowledge. That’s my boy @kamina86 ☄️🤘🏼 Killing it! With a standard 1ZZ no LSD too 👀
He had to do it to em
😂
A wild Frogemaster appears

Hell yeah! Way to rep the 1ZZ MR-S. Nicely done Simon.
2Z IS THE WAY DAMN 1Z, SO BAD !

Gotta be honest, MR2 looks the best.
Also, if it had an lsd, it would of done even better. The other two cars had lsd. Mr-s is criminally underrated.

@@vltruan my 2zz mrs is pretty quick with an open diff, the weight in the rear makes a big difference. open diff on an FR is pretty much useless.
simon is the real deal. Respect to all the drivers, cool episode

I used to own mrs and goes from 0-60 in 7 seconds flat or high 6s with a pro driver. Its as quick as a celica gts thanks to mr setup for launch
Congrats Simon!
Edit: Get me on the show! But not sure there's an NT01 size that will fit setup lol

Mr2 with 2zz swap is incredible. 1zz is decent but when I swapped in a 2zz in my mr2 it was so much better😁
I have a 2zz matrix daily, and it is a LOT of fun. A great little engine that just screams.
My man! Gettin it done & reppin the MRS! ❤
Cool racing , cool racing cars. Great battle 👏
Just clicked it form the thumbnail. Love the mr-s.
this was worth popping up on my recommendation at an ad
Just here for simons mr-s 👍
MR-S lookin tough ☄️
In my opinion it comes down to something simple as track knowledge
1ZZFE > 4AGE
Don't trash the 1ZZ. It's so perfect with the MR-S.
Its definitely got torque but I can't say it feels perfect unless i try a 2zz or k series in the chassis
@@spreilly71I should clarify! Out of the box it's great, but paired with a 2ZZ & C60 (which it really should have been!), it is simply chef's kiss.
this is the most offensive thing i've ever read
looked like alot of fun

mid engine masterrace
This gives a nice little twist to the term Yunibody
I thought they were going for Video Option style eye-candy but she was racing! 💪
Guys, da miata be like "=D" and you can't prove me otherwise. 😃
That 2zz would have made that MRs a beast
No drone shots? Can't really see the track at all
Three wonderful cars! The mrs is starting to get noticed nowadays
Mrs has longer wb than s2k and mita.
Do more of these videos.
God would love to bring my swapped MR-S out but I live on the other side of the country and I suck at driving lmao
I saw Simon and I knew it was over. Frog gang~
I have a quick GR86 with some pretty cool parts I'd love to be on a driver battle!!
I think I have the secret for the perfect Spyder, I have been working on the balance for years and I have it. My 1zz is stock and that's the way I like it. I would be very confident to up against Simons car.
i think i'm in love with this host
just look at those socks! 😍
Not to be condescending in the very slightest but Yunni is absolutely an adorable bad ass.
Long episode, but not bad, mic needs to be normalized though
Frog gang
I wanna be on the show! I have a Scion FR-S
Would've been nice to have all the same tires size
Miata’s make 100 whp. 86 making 155 whp facts
Let's get some v8s out there. Im signed up. Pick me!!! Haha
most experienced driver and widest tires :D No surprise tbh... :D
97 Miata for the Win!!!!!❤
Mx5 nb will always be better purely due to the mazda speed variant
@@Bryankaaskoningbut no popup headlight 😢
Miata was never the real answer
let yunni take out her porsche
Ae86 had a solid rear axle.
Yunni!
I will drive my turbo Miata all the way from utah for this! If you want some shit talk, it’s quite possibly the fastest car in the whole world.
