Pretty sure Mazdaspeed2oo3.5 just 'drove' yours there right? I mean, you didn't go over there that long ago. I assume they flew them in a plane unless there is some magical bridge that connects the US to Europe.
I know I am a jackass but seriously how else would you get a car from the US into Europe?
I suppose you could be asking, how did you get Europe to allow US vehicles to operate in Europe?

One way to ship US spec cars would be by ship to either Bremehaven, Germany or the port in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This method is normally used by folks serving in the Armed Forces who get stationed in Europe...

once its physically there, US crash and emission specs are stiffer than anywhere else, so the only issues as far as passing safety inspections are lighting...
actually a lot easier than doing the reverse, mostly due to US laws.

Well it was easy for me, Since Iam a Spanish Citizen, when you are a Spanish Citizen and you live and work outside Spain or european Union, after a year and 1 day you can bring with you all of your personal belongings back to spain and you dont have to Pay any taxes or fees, any customs inspections or anything, you dont need to legalize your vehicles, they legalize it the way they come from US, i brought all of my stuff from USA inside 2 40 Foot Containers in a ship. I just paid 440 Euros to get my car registered and my Spanish Euro License Plates and thats it.. and ofcourse the fee the shipping company charged you to bring your containers. this is a Benefit from being a Spanish Citizen and for living and working ouside Spain for a period of time of 1 year and 1 day..

Ex-user when come back to poland in 2005 and he takes this car with him. He ship MSP in Newark and take back in Gdynia Poland. He drive MSP to last summer when he bought MS6, and I buy it from him. Mechanicaly car is in good condition regular serivced in Mazda Service in Warsaw.
Hmm how they react, they are very suppriced becouse in EU most powerfull engine in sedna is 1.8 fs 115hp, or in 323Familia/Protege 2.0 FS 131hp.

I dunno...
What Europeans lack in fast, they make up for with styling.

Well i don't know from where you get the Idea European cars are slower.. i can tell you from a fact, what we all get in US is s***... Look at the Ford Focus SVT and look at the Ford Focus RS or ST... a hell of a difference in design, engineering and style..
Ford Escort GT, or Ford Escort RS Turbo or RS Cosworth... cars in here in Europe have better style and they look lot better than lots of US models..
I can start naming you cars from here that will eat alive most of the sport compact cars there in US...
Also is not about going fast. is also about how you look, how you brake and how you handle in curves....
Better example SRT-4's... they look like crap, brake like crap and handle like crap. and look cheap in the interior. all they got is a powerful Stock Engine to go in a straight line period..

Good example also is Renault Clio Williams, VW Golf/Rabbit Gti, Opel Astra GSI all this cars have great performane 2.0 liter engine n/a over 150 bhp, and everyone have FIA licence for racing. But europe is now adjust on diesel engines, most powerfull diesel in poland have stroked 1.9 to 2.1 lupo 4x4 having over 433,6HP/786,5NM making high 10 on quatermile.
