Traded my 08 Mazdaspeed 3 in this past weekend

[Donas64]

bwahahaha!!! i'm sorry, i would NEVER trade my speed for this piece of s***

As much as I love the MS3 (and I love it a lot) the funny thing is His POS would whoop your MS3 at a dragstrip and around a road course.

That said, I'd still rather have an MS3 but the SRT-6 is in no way a POS. But you're certainly entitled to your opinion.

i'm sorry, i really don't care if its faster. like seriously, you think people buy ms3's solely because of speed? eh... dollar per dollar my car is better. ANY CHRYSLER = DOODOO. might as well buy a $500 civic and soup it up if that's what you want... and it will be in the 10's

Its the same thread over and over again. If hes happy with the car then more power to him. With two mods hes running faster than 90% of this forum he enjoys the car, and overall hes happy. More power to him. Personally i absolutely despise wagons which is the main reason i dont have an ms3.

Maybe you missed the part where I said I'd like the MS3 more.

The bland outrage that motivates you to speak up about someone else's car just to call it crap and tell them their taste is terrible is the sort of PTA soccer mom impotent fury I'd prefer not to have to read on a forum about cars. Stow it, cupcake, and let the adults talk.

Yeah... that's a great time. Thing is... it's an automatic right? Don't take this the wrong way but... where's the fun in that? I remember the first time I went to the track... it was pathetic. My time was like 18... thought I could shift but clearly I was wrong. But with practice, I got it down to where all the pubs had it. (Sentra SE-R for what it's worth) Now if the car had been automatic... s***... I guess I would've just punched it and waited for the 14-15 seconds to go by. That said... 12.8 is ridiculous! congrats

I agree somewhat. However as you may know the biggest "skill" in drag racing is getting the launch down. That includes knowing what pressure to run the tires (which reminds me I have to try dropping mine), knowing how long to burnout w/ slicks vs street tires, and most importantly what RPM to launch at and how to feather the throttle through 1st gear. My first run I pinned it at the line and was wobbling all the way through my 60ft.

Don't get me wrong I enjoy the tactile feel of driving a stick too. However this is the first truly powerful auto I've ever driven- and to tell you the truth it isn't bad. However if there WAS a manual available I would have opted for that in a heartbeat. All in all it's the most fun auto I've ever driven- it's so easy to drive fast, on the highway just point n' shoot.

Are you kidding me? This thread is magical. It has brought all the idiots out of the wood work, people who aren't fans of cars but of their own emotional attachment and ego associated with cars. It's helping me make a list of people who aren't worth my time on here.

Dude comes on and says "I traded in my MS3 and I bought a car I really like and am happy with" and the response has ranged between "JUDAS!!!" and "slushbox lol" and "crysler lol." It's an amazing spectacle to watch.

AMEN agreed 110%

POS? Please explain exactly 'why' the car is a piece of sh*t. I'll sit here and listen to you dig your own grave. If it's a brand thing- obviously you don't realize that while the sheet metal and badges may indeed be "Chrysler" the engine and drivetrain are Mercedes AMG. Then again maybe someone with your blisteringly deep knowledge of everything automotive you'd conclude that AMGs are POS's too. lol

People don't buy MS3's solely because of speed?- I agree. However it's one of the major reasons- if not then they'd be buying a standard n/a 3 w/ GT options. If you didn't buy it with performance intentions why the CAI and BPV. Then again those can be chalked up as (aural) aesthetic mods much like your carbon fiber stick-ons.

If you can effectively explain why the SRT-6 is a piece of sh*t I'll change my opinion of you and actually garnish a bit of respect for you. Until then use your brain and process the bile before it spews from your lips.

Finally- regarding your proposed concept of buying a $500 civic and making it go 10's. All the while very possible but not without extensive mods going far farrrr beyond basic bolt ons. The SRT-6 is a very good platform to start on- it's engine comes STOCK with forged internals and can be a quiet (stock exhaust), comfortable, reliable daily driver in the 11's with a few basic bolt-ons. You cannot say that about your $500 civic doing 10's.

+1. There's a lot of children (should I say, "sub-adults"?) on this forum.

Edit: Wow, these things can be had $17-22K sub 40K miles!

Im sorry that Im not 40 like you......(braindead

 

[Timshadi]

Fugly

Despite the power, The Chrysler SRT-6 is one of the ugliest cars that I have seen!! I would rank it with the Pontiac Aztec as top notch Fugly!!!

And most people know Chrysler (Dodge) like Pontiac are very poorly made

Yes- I got mine for 19k w/ 12,000 miles. I got a standard (non super-charged) Limited Roadster with 12,000 as well for my wife for 16.5k.

Another genius. lol

I can't argue about the aesthetics of the car- it's totally objective. Some love it, some hate it. Same goes with the Mazdaspeed3.

Regarding it being "poorly made" that is unbridled ignorance speaking. Again for the 1,000th time it's not a Chrysler. "Poorly Made"- the engine is Merc hand-built with forged internals. lol

PS I'm not complaining about the looks...

 

[diablospeed]

i don't think people realize that Diamler (AKA Mercedes) owned Chrysler for 10 years... this is the offspring of such a union. And the ONLY reason it is not in production now id because of the corporate split, and not the car. I love SRT6's because you almost can't tell what it is from the normal ones...unless you know what you are looking at. These remind me of the old BMW M-class (aka the foot-car) roadsters that ATE UP the tuner cars for so many years. People will always knock the look, but you can't argue with 80 years of integrity and solid workmanship.

Oh yeah... for all the Crossfire haters... look under the hood of one and tell me how many times you see the Mercedes logo vs. Chrysler's.

 

[happy and angry]

Yup, they are terrible cars.

Just terrible, man. TERRIBLE.

I'm gonna guess that the same people who think the Crossfire is poorly made autostick crap are also people who would love to get behind the wheel of any of the North American Mercedes AMG offerings (which are all automatics).

 

[dizzin9]

some obvious reasons why are chryslers crap: (which is also bankrupt and has cut ties with daimler - surprise!)

- poor resale value, problematic cars, countless owner complaints, average at best design, poor engineering.

@LazerBlueP5

you obviously bought the ms3 for its "speed" and made the wrong choice. that's why you traded it in and did not mind having two seats, a tiny cargo area, hideous rear end design, dangerous blind spots, an automatic sports car, and a cheap interior for a "mercedes". people did not buy the ms3 for its speed, it's only a valuable asset. people bought it for its VALUE and FUNCTIONALITY. something chryslers DON'T HAVE.

now, all i'm saying is that chryslers are crap and i will not even look at it when considering buying a car. the statistics, reviews, and personal experiences of other people back it up. we are "certainly entitled to our opinion" anyway.

Hmmm ... compare this http://www.jdpower.com/autos/Mazda/MAZDA3/2007/Sedan/ratings
with this
http://www.jdpower.com/autos/Chrysler/Crossfire/2005/Coupe/ratings

Big difference?

 

[happy and angry]

Poor resale value means he got the car used for a great price. I think that means he got great value for what he wanted.

His car is basically a Mercedes with none of the typical Chrysler reliability issues.

He is the owner and he's not complaining.

You are saying his car which is almost entirely Mercedes parts from the SLK and an S-class rear suspension is poorly engineered?

If he cared about cargo area or number of seats, he'd have purchased a different car, so your complaints here are dumb.

He doesn't care about the design, I imagine he rather likes it. It's a good thing aesthetics are entirely subjective things, frankly. I imagine you've a face only a mother could love, but that's just me.

The automatic in his car is the same automatic that's in other Mercedes SLK AMG's. Are they crappy automatics, too? Or is it just when you take the same components and slap a Chrysler badge on them that you pee your pants with futile car opinion rage?

And while you are entitled to your opinion, you are not entitled to be an ass because someone bought a car you wouldn't, while at the same time having the gall to like it.

Please stop talking.

wow. that's a fair comparison. lol a mazda3 sedan. so you buy cars according to what jdpower says? nice.

I'm not going to argue with you. It seems that's all your after anyway. If I thought it was worth it I'd pull up some more reviews (these are owner reviews).

You can provide your own, smarty-pants (or, prove that you're not just hot air).
