1st test drive and i bought the car the same night...i love my car, i know what is done to the car but im just saying...and i know what u mean, regardless of time spent on the car the got it done but still, consider the time they put into it. Its hard for me to explain exactly what i mean.. i dunno
 
what did everyone think when they first test drove the ms3? i didnt really like it until the second test drive..mostly bc ive never driven a fwd car b4 and i had to get used to it..

my dealer guy took me through these " zoom zoom" hills..it was fun



I always liked the 3 hatch so it was easy for me. I had a mazda 6s before and it was ok but I was looking for something smaller, faster, better on gas, and practical. I considered the Civic SI but was disappointed with the performance, then I looked at possibly getting an SRT-4 but they were being discontinued and no way in hell was I gonna buy one used:(.

My co-worker had a wrx and loved it so decided to possibly get a wrx wagon, even went to test drive one but decided against it after reading about the possible tranny issues. Then came the ms3 which sealed the deal.
 
you guys need to go over to caliberforums and educate yourselves on the potential of this engine

more like 12.5 @ almost 118.

The 407whp was on nitrous, the 12.5 was also using nitrous in only 3rd and 4th.

of the nitrious the car made 349whp and wetn 12.79 @ 114.

All this dignity stuffy u guys are tlaking about is based purly on opinion.
Face the facts, the caliber is a force to be reconded with and will go faster then the ms3 due to a better engine and a normal ecu.

Man you really need to go and get youself a camaro; get an automatic while your at it, then you won't have to drive your car at all, just piont it straight.
Why are you driving the speed, all you care about is trap speed. This is really not a drag car.

yea, im the one who did it remember. ET doesnt mean s***, its a matter of traction. i trapped 112mph as my best with no nitrous, the trapped 114.xx off the bottle and 117.xx on the bottle


as for as the 'lets see that car go around the track....yea cause about 2 percent of this board does actual track racing.

Man you really do not get what mazdas are about. They are the most road raced vehicles in north america. People who drive mazdas love to drive a car that handle amazingly with proper steering feel.

deal's gap boy, on a road coarse, what do you call the area's btwn the turns? Think hard on this one. REason you burn car on deal's gap is because you knwo the road better then them. people dont push their cars to the limit on the street in fear of getting arresting or going off into a tree or oncoming car.

Post a pic of your tires, I'm betting the outside shoulder of your tires is in amazing shape, scared of driving one of the best roads out there like Deal's Gap? Go get that camaro, while your at it install a chain link steering wheel.
I bet your bike's tires have the same immaculate shoulder ware.

guarentee there are tons of cars that would smoke you. is your suspension stock or modified? why don't you go race an rx-8 through some twisties and see who gets their ass handed to them.

Dude i believe him. I've embarresd acuru nsx's, sti's and many other in my ms3in the twistys. They have faster cars but no guts i guess.


look up my posts before u preach to me about drag racing lol
your not going to pick up 3-4mph because you spun

Go get that camaro man, then head the strip.

you have boobs, perk them up and they'll let u drive it.

Get over myself? lol. Show me where im being cocky.

so um u posted a dyno chart, whats your point. That mustang did not trap 120 to go low 11s.

Its liek talking to a b****, you know a female version of a dog

Dude you mother must not have taught you to respect women, did she?

who cares where they got the specs. Fact is fact
1.5 year and we cant even drive our fucken cars in cold weather
3 weeks and their biggest concern is traction.

My car works great in the cold.
I think what mean to say is:
Those who do not have the kwnowledge or skills to proplery tune this car can not drive them in the cold.
I bet you will not screw up tuning that comaro your going to get.
 
first of all newb did u read my magazine quote?
you say im all about straight line and you want to see my tires...

here my first run of tri states a couple years back in my autox stx prepped specv.

i go all out on the first run, hence the crash at the end, btw i won tri states that year lol

do you still want to see my tires?

notice the tiny chicken strip on the FRONT tire. it would be gone, but i prefer not pushing my luck on the bike, its a pebble away or a squirel away from crashing 10gs and ending up in the hospitol...no thx

the reason why im ont serious with this car in autox is because its too damn heavy imo

2nd of all, mod your car, then see how it drives in the cold weather. Read up, most of the 'tuning' on this board is done by 3 people, im one of them...once again, way to own yourself.

3rd of all, my pm box isnt full yet, let know if you need any tips....lol at people like you thinking all i do is drag race. who's next to get owned?(idhitit)

yea high five buddy...(cricket)

people assume to many things on these boards without actually doing ANY research on topics
 
stupidity annoys me.....sorry
im not a cocky prick untill my rep or comments get questioned. Soon enough people will believe that i don't make up s*** or lie, no reason
 
No worries, it annoys all of us. But honestly, this jackass is talking about how much shoulder wear you have on your tires, as if taking dumb risks with his car/life and driving like an idiot on public roads somehow proves something other than that he's an idiot. Is he really worth your time?

Just don't wanna be on a forum that other people look at as being "that" forum, ya know?
 
i really liked the regular 3 wagon also..so i was gunna get that and then i was builing and pricing online and i saw the little advertisement for the speed3 with the headers poppping out of it..lol.that sold me on it

Awsome you do really use your car for more than drags.
I was serious about seeing your tires man, Thing is I have
read post ofter post pertaining to 1/4 mile and hp,
I've seen nothing else. You really come off as one
of those sraight line only guys. It is rad to see that
you really do "Drive" your cars like they were meant to be driven.
Theres to many people with fast cars who could not even tell
what heel toe is.

Been there, done that. There were RX-8 meet ups at the Gap. I've smoked plenty of them.

Wow, you're slow.(jerkit)

Why the hell should anyone listen to you??? LMFAO!!!!!!

I could smoke you in my car and on my bike, anyday of the week.

Definitely won't be taking any of your comments or advice seriously now.(fuoops)

Also, R6s don't cost 10 grand, anywhere.

This is the reason threads are locked, why resort to name calling?

You might autx, but based on your comments on every forum I've seen you post on, you're more about straight line performance. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm the same way and bought this car because I know it's fast.

However I know better than to think it's a good platform for drag racing because it's not. It can be made to be fast but there are a much better cars out there for that purpose. It's a good all-round performer.

bull s***. get one that is mod for mod with you and it will kick the s*** out of you. so will plenty of speeds. you probably have a fully modified suspension and are going against stock cars. does you protege have perfect 50/50 weight distribution, i dont think so. have fun eating a tree next time you go do you back road runs. hope the cops are sitting there waiting for you too. if you car is so good why don't you go enter it into some races and mop up? oh wait they are to "boring" for you. give me a break. i bet you can probably beat an sti or the new nissan gtr on that road too right? maybe even a formula 1 car.
