[240ka]

There was one I saw on the net where they did a race with it and a couple other cars, I believe is kicked some ass

Wow...it won the hotlap and got 3rd. He would have caught up to the STi if it had been a 5 lap battle. Nice video.

rofl passing the 2 cars like they were standing still

I know it's been said before but I hate how the guy revs all the way to redline. But then again, he'd be upshifting and downshifting constantly to keep it in power.

Anyone notice the lap times...?? 1.10 FTW!!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there was an STI in that video. From what I can tell, these were the cars:

Subaru WRX (manual)
Subaru WRX (auto)
Subaru Legacy B4 (auto)
BMW 130i (auto)
MS3

Clearly the MS3 would have reined in the 130i and WRX if it were a longer race but I'm fairly certain it had a couple of obvious advantages. One being that it had a manual as opposed to the auto-equipped cars (notice how it passed the B4 and auto WRX so easily) and it may have been one of the only cars in the test with dedicated summer tires. Although they don't say, it's very possible that at least a couple, if not all, wore all seasons.

Not trying to diss, just thought I should point that out.

The hot lap is the most important part.

I believe you are correct sir. I think they are just imprezas, no STi. I don't know why I asumed that.

 

[turbo23]

the new evo and sti run around 1:05-1:06, so yes they are quick.

ding ding ding

If the speed wouldn't have been held up by the pack it probably would have lapped them.

If the speed wouldn't have been held up by the pack it probably would have lapped them.

Probably not due to the fact that it was only about 4 secs faster than the slowest car per lap, but I get what you are saying. It may have had a much faster hot lap time without the traffic.

Go MAZDASPEED GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jaydubz]

I for one would like to see a rematch!

 

[Silver Ecstasy]

Yeah i'm real surprised Best Motoring does a ton of stuff on everything but the MS3/MPS. You'd think it'd be just as worthy as an STI, Evo or hell..even a Civic hatch..

 

[GoFast]

they need subtitles dammit!

 

[240ka]

i just want to know where is the MS3 on top gear and fifth gear damn it.

they tested the RX8, why not the MS3
