so i raced a mazda speed 3 completly stock my car is stock as well its a 2006 roadster. we rolled of a 40 and he beat me both times maybe by half a car. i noticed this morning that i had my vdc on i didnt switch it off. could that have made a diffrence??

no its not the vdc

you have a roadster which is heavy, you have the DE motor which IMO would lose to a stock ms3, and the ms3 may have had a downpipe which you could not hear with a stock exhaust..

they all add up

wow... now that's embarrasing considering that the Mazda 3 is pushing about 140 whp. I woulda went home and cried myself to sleep on my big pilla.

I think you need some driving lessons bro.

Ms3 are great cars. I would of got one but the sexiness of the Z gave me a boner

ok I was exaggerating it has 240 HP - I still would've put my money on the Z with a good driver.

Do it from a launch and lets see the outcome.

Just stop posting if you don't know. It's 263HP and 280TQ, and some say the car is underrated and has a bit more HP than that. By no means is it a slow car.

This is one of the least intelligent threads I've read here in a while. Congratulations to all of the above!

What Arnold said.


One reason MS3's rarely take off from a dig is because they have MONSTER torque steer and can't hook up. Power to weight is rediculous

i raced a mazda speed 3 in my bicycle. i won. jk.

ms3 are somewhat fast... too bad it's a fwd ;( crappy.

they run around a 14 in the 1/4 give or take based on driver. That's right around a 350z stock in the quarter, give or take driver, trans, weight.

If he's manual and you are auto then he's going to be faster, it also depends on what gear you selected for the roll verses what he selected.

from a roll is pointless. There isn't a sport from a roll.....only people that can't launch want to run from a roll.

Agreed.
This is the type of car bashing that makes enthusiasts look like d bags.
The speed 3 is a very impressive car in many ways. Ive had the pleasure of riding in a speed 3 with mild mods and it pushed me into the seat harder than any NA z ive ridden in.

Mazda speed 3 and 6 are very nice cars with nice interiors and performance to match I never understood why they're not more popular. Turbo, awd, very cumfy and quick as hell
