New member looking for a MS3

[John316]

***Update Feb.22 - I just picked a Cosmic Blue MS3.***

Hello,

I'm coming from the Corvette world. Just sold a Lingenfelter 650 HP twin turbo Corvette and I am looking for something fun to drive with 4 doors...and under 25k. So far, the MS3 is the best I've found by far. I may get one Friday depending on how negotiable the local Mazda dealer is. If not, I'll have to expand my search to KC, St. Louis and Tulsa.

I've already learned a lot from reading the forum. Seems like a nice community here. I look forward to learning more and hopefully contirbuting.

definitely go for the true red GT it's the best car ever, and the red is faster too =p

I don't have a problem with shipping but I assume the cost of transport would probably cancel any potential savings. Feel free to PM me if you can work something up.

Is it allowed to link to the Corvette Forum? I have lots of pics posted there. Being new I haven't read all of the rules yet.

Here's one pic of the old vette:

Looks like mine but different.

Welcome to the Mazda world... potentially. I was/am a moderator on Digitalcorvettes.com if you were a memeber on there.

I was not aware that the digitalcorvettes web site existed.

The Vette only has 2 doors...it was no longer practical with a family. Also, I started work as a pastor at a small church. The Vette did not fit the image I have for a pastor.

The MS3 is a big step down in power but it is a fun, quick, and good-looking car. If the weather is good tomorrow I will be buying one...have to choose between red or cosmic blue. I'm leaning toward the cosmic blue. It will be nice having a factory warranty.

I just bought a new Cosmic Blue MazdaSpeed3 GT. Only options are autodim mirror and wheel locks.

I am excited to join the group...as well as the driving fun!

Now, time for some of this ==> (drive2)(drive2)(drive2)

Not planning any mods for now except for some stereo stuff...at the very least I gotta get some better speakers and ipod solution. Probably will also look into bluetooth and sirius.

Welcome! The modding bug bites quick and hard - beware!
