Congrats on the new speed3.

So if blue is the smartest and silver is the fastest... whats black? the naughty color. Red must be devilish then. LOL.

You will enjoy your new ride. I love mine.

yep Its true you made a good decision getting blue, its very nice but i went with the silver because it has like 1000 more hp . (poke)
black is just straight up bad@$$ and Red..... well , we try not to talk about red .

Before the MS3 I had a SRT4(pic below). I liked my SRT but it was no way refined like the MS3. The car handles really well and fells very solid. The power is smooth and comes on really nice even in 5th and 6th. The 6 speed is nice since I always felt like my 5 speed need an extra gear. A few things I plan on adding soon is a STS and boots gauge which all turbo cars should come with stock. I have a few other mods planed but want to get a fell for the car in stock form. I've very happy I purchased the MS3.

(woowoo) another new Member thread...Welcome! (hi)

Seems like quite a few MS3 owners were previous SRT4 owners looking to "upgrade"...Nice SRT4...I realize that car has been around for a few years now...but you can't deny what an awesome overall performance package the MS3 is...Be sure to keep us updated with pics!

Just installed my COBB SRI. This thing is nice both power and sound. I plan to install my Greddy BOV soon but want to get my Boost gauge in first.

 

[jalaan1]

nice!(drinks)

moving quick with the mods, eh.

boost contoller and boost cut defender, 280whp at just 18psi, spiking at 21. The srt4 is awesome, but we can get to 300whp alot easier, and 320whp with just cai, boost controller, boost cut defender and race pipe and that only cost about 500 bucks. That's almost stage 3 srt power, with toys. Boost contoller alone is stage 2 power (280whp). The srt4 has a cast iron block so it can probably handle more overall power than us, but who needs more than 330whp in a fwd car anyway. A member here ran a 12.7 with just the race pipe and boost controller on slicks. You just made a very good decision. Plus, we handle better than srt4's, and build quality? Im sure you already know the story on that.

I agree with that. I spent a tone of money trying to get 300whp out of my SRT4 and even ordered the Stage3 kit before my accident. Lucky it was on backorder big time so I was able to cancel the order. I'm loving this MS3 and cant wait to get my COBB Stage 2 suspension setup which should be next.
