Rowdy K20 MR2 on 40PSI Encounters Supercar on the Highway!

On this episode we feature Josh's K20 powered Toyota MR2. This is one of the best looking MR2's we've seen, fitted with a custom factory sheet metal widebody to fit a monster wheel/tire it looks menacing... and it has the power to weight ratio to back it up! Watch the video to learn everything about this badass MR2, enjoy!

Natalia Kruschev Yes it does dumb ass 😂 hence “fully built”. You don’t work on cars much do you? The term fully built actually has a meaning. Once you have completely taken advantage of the platform then it’s fully built, that means sleeved and/or stroked. Upgrading the internal parts isn’t fully built.

To answer your question the guy in the video said people are going to think it’s staged. I’m not sure what’s staged about lining up with a stock viper it’s florida supercars are all over the place. There’s a video of a 3/4 ton duramax smoking a new viper in south Florida and you actually get to see the car beside him when he’s racing the guy. It’s a shame he didn’t run into that duramax instead of the viper shit would of got ugly fast

If a Chevy LS/LT can't fit, why bother? So little bang-for-buck with Japanese motors... How much does the K20 weigh, though? I traded in my MR2 for an Ultima GTR: too little space for BIG tires in MR2, barely fits V6, less trunk space than Ultima's (after you fit a V6 + intercooler...), etc: If Toyota did a N/A V6 to start with, plus bigger wheelwells & a transaxle w/o dog-gears rated for HP of a V6-turbo,, maybe I'd have kept it... swapping the tranny, bigger brakes, PLUS everything else = more work+money than I'd put into such a slow car...with pop-up headlights that fail, rofl, that's so 1980's.

Still a cool car, I'm just to the point I don't believe half the shit they say or portray....I'm just here for the cars. Check out some of their older videos where they come across the same car "randomly" multiple times. Or That Dude In Blues video where he features one of the "random" cars from TRC video and even says "Thanks to TRC for letting me review the car"....So much for "Randomly" coming across a supercar. It doesn't count when the car IS YOURS AND IS STAGED!! This Viper may have not have been staged this time, but I've called them out at least (3) times where for a FACT they staged the shit and called it "random" LMFAO
