awd???

wow there is a lot of misinformation in this thread

 

WTF

 

the 6 is awd the 3 is fwd, i test drove a ms3 and was impressed, just reminded me of my 95 civic turbo hatch too much so i pulled out and put it on the belly button.

 

At least the Z is a sports car.

 

 

From a stop the Z wins... I wreck house on my friends ms3... but on the highway he starts to catch me and pull away after about 80... I just end the race before he can pass

 

Street racing is against the TOS here......in before the bans . That being said I have walked the **** out of every ms3 I have ever lined up with at the track......that is all.

 

so, what's the point of the video showing them take off from a 60-70 mph roll? that proves nothing.

 

Street racing. Not impressed. Real racers are here: https://my350z.com/forum/drag/233840...ons-stock.html

 

I do not care if it is faster or slower. Its a hatch with *****. The MS3 motor has a defect that Mazda has not yet corrected. Tentatively they said the fix is coming in June(not 100% on this), but so far they have fibbed twice. I cannot believe mazda let this quality control problem continue with the new model. If you think my case is erroneous, then take a peek over on the mazda sites.

 

op is probably another ricer in miami just like all the other ones that live down here.

 

you talking motor mounts?

Some oil getting past the pistons rings and direct injection issues. When the problem starts, one sign is a massive burst of smoke that exits out the tailpipes.

http://www.mazda3forums.com/index.php?topic=140055.0 - Here's just one example.

There are plenty of smoking turbo threads and the like if you look even further back. The amount of MS3's with these issues are compiling. There are other mazda forums to check for reference.
Its the turbo seals and not the rings. My apologizes guys.

that vid is a joke and hopefully they both wrap their cars around a telephone pole. ms3 driver needs a perfectly tailor made street race to even have a chance. not to mention the Z is 100% better looking.

 

My roomate bought an MS3 a few years ago. We raced a few times in my Roadster and I beat him with a car length or so.

He sold the car, but IMO the MS3 is quick but the complete package of the Z is 10x better. Also, the Z Roadster is 20-25k more expensive than an MS3 new.

 

I agree with you about the Z looking 100% better, I wouldn't be caught dead driving a ms3, however, with just a few bolt ons, the ms3 would take a stock z, especially a de everytime.

 

wooo! street racing ftl...good thing i have a z and a speed 6....
