Sorry ACW, I don't have all of that info to hand, but according to Boeing the MTOW of a P8 is 189200 lbs, which if memory serves correct is a little more than an MR2. Thereafter I would look at the wheel configurations of MR2 v P8. Needless to say, there are some chaps in Florida who ran all the calculations.
