A racing series that only allows unmodified cars fresh from the showroom floor to compete? That was essentially the whole idea behind showroom stock racing.

That’s where this Toyota MR2 Turbo comes into play.

Prepared to race in 1991, the MR2 would compete in the 1992 and 1993 seasons of the IMSA Firehawk series.

After the end of the 1993 season, the car was put into storage for some 10 years before changing hands.

Today, the current owner and seller wishes to sell the car to a racer who “appreciates it for what it is, an IMSA Firehawk survivor.”

Find this 1991 Toyota MR2 Turbo listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace with an asking price of $22,500. (The listing, however, also says that the asking price is $25,000.)

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Yeah this would look really good in his shop next to his other MR2.

Raced a Showroom Stock Miata back in the late 90s and it was the most fun I've had in the entire 37 years I've been racing.

This car would be loads of fun; no need to modify it because you are keeping it period correct.

You'll need to log in to post.
