    Flat Foot Shifting

    14 flat is an impressive ETA for any stock compact car. the one I drove just didnt feel anywhere near 14 flat. I would say high 14's. Like I posted before though, seems like this car might have been beaten on. They also dont usually let the car idle after any test drives. I dont know, im hoping...

    Flat Foot Shifting

    Today on my test drive the salesman was having a blast in the passanger seat. The MS3 GT kinda let me down off the line and normal agressive shiting thru 4th. Felt like the boost dropped to much. Then I did what you guys call "flat shifting" and the car came alive. Flat shift = WOT through the...

    Thanks guys. At least I know what price range to shop. My local dealer here marks up way high I guess. While I was there I pulled up a search on my phone and I found others within 50 miles for $22-$23k on the 2009 sport or touring. I do like the alcantra seats, HID's, rear LED tails. Im sure I...

    I went and looked and drove the GT today. I wasnt impressed with the power. It was definately faster than my BMW but I dont like the lag from a dig or between shifts. Maybe BOV will help keep the turbine spinning and boost up right? Car felt pretty good and precise in the corners. Brakes were...

    in case you were wondering about your cargo capacity...

    I couldnt even get the box of my 47" into the back of my 02' Yukon. I had to remove the 3rd row (PIA) and stuff them to the side. Nice to know an MS3 can handle that if I ever buy an MS3.
