I'm kinda disappointed that the current MRS wasn't a turbo, or at least
would have been given an option of having the 180hp Celica GTS engine. It
appears the current MRS seems to be a good match for the Miata in BS.

Yeah, I was really astonished to see a sub 15 second time from a car that
has 170hp. I think the RWD 5k rpm clutch slip launches helped though. That
car's (seemingly) heavy flywheel made it tough to get a good clutch slip
launch without some practice. My Probe GT in DSP trim couldn't hang with
the Z3 in 1st unless I really nailed the FWD launch. I could start keeping
up in 3rd though. Our trap speeds were usually the same though, his times
just 0.3-0.5s faster. It boggles me too...
