    Where Are the DC Area Mazda3 owners???

    ok my 3s is actually my wife's and she's not really into the "car" thing....she just likes driving it. Myself, I drive a maxima with some mods and I hardly have time to make it to the local maxima meets. Besides, my wife would NEVER let me take her car to a meet - she knows about the last...

    who's raced someone so far?

    she loves it.....in fact I am rarely "allowed" to drive it! Anyhow I love the way the 3 handles, esp with the 's" package.....but it's kind of hard to re-adjust to a 4cyl feel since I drive the torquey maxima every day. The 3's a fun car though, and far superior in handling and accelleration...

    who's raced someone so far?

    Sorry...again I'm a newbie to Mazda thanx to my wife's 3s....anyhow, I was referring to my own maxima, a 2k model (VQ30 engine puts down 222 hp stock, and about 235 with my limited mods to it). The 255 hp maxima is the 2k2-3 models with the VQ35 engine, wayyyy more torque than mine as well. As...

    track or street? last time at the track a bone-stock 3.5 Alti was running low to mid 14's. btw manual not autotragic. I am assuming you are pretty modded if you are beating a 3.5 Alti, even a stock one, unless he is both an automatic and a bad driver.... what are you running?

    who's raced someone so far?

    I'm a newbie here...looking at stuff for my wife's new 3s....normally I wouldn't comment on race times....but I just had to ask, is your msp stock? If so, what year maxima is it that you beat, exactly? Just asking, because in my 2000 maxima (with intake and y-pipe only engine/exahust mods) I...

    Newbie with new question...

    Hey guys, I'm a newbie here....my wife bought (supposedly) the "first" Mazda 3s available here in northern virginia (traded in her POS Jetta)....so I'll be hanging around to see what's up with mods for this car.... not planning on modding hers much, as my 2000 Maxima has the bulk of the mods...
