Thanks for all the information, it's most HELPFUL!!!

Thanks for the info Mach 3.5 Turbo. Since you have a Mazdaspeed 3.5 are you having this same problem that I am experiencing with your MSP? Please let me know...thanks...

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem. So here goes nothing... When I am accelerating hard and reving it out to 5-6,000RPM and I shift from 2nd to 3rd it seems the clutch lags a little right before it engages again. It almost feels like a catching or grabbing feel/light pedal feel...

I have the same noise under mild to moderate throttle. It occurs when I accelerate and then right after I put the transmission into the next gear and engage the clutch it's sound like a faint rattling noise or a farting noise. To me it sound like more of a chatter...

Agreed on your points, and there may not even be a World Superbike after this year...sound like all the manufacturers are pissed with the change in regulations/restrictions/requirements and I saw an article that pretty much indicated WSB would be dead after this year or 04'. The nice thing was...

I don't know if the TL1000R is what I would call a "Duc eater". I have no problems keeping up with an R1 on the road if I want to race a straight line. But I bought my Ducati for one reason, the thing feels like a hot knife through butter when I hit the corners hard. It's confidence...

Actually I totally understand your point about Ferrari. It's Italian and I know exactly what that means. The same is true with the Japanese bike manufacturers vs. Ducati and other European bike manufacturers. Sure I can own a Yamaha R1, GSX-R1000, CBR954RR, both none of them compare to the...

Yes, most manufacturers have their share of problems. I cannot argue with your 1:20 ratio because I do not have statistical data in front of me, but you also have to remember that betwen the BIG3 (FORD, CHEVROLET, and CHRYSLER) they produce and have the most vehicles on the road in the United...

I had it done over 3 years ago...my eyesight back then was 20/15 about a week after the surgery. My eyesight today is 20/20 or 20/18 depending on how awake I am (my eyes). Make sure they are using the latest LASIK laser, check your doctor's references to find out how long he has been peforming...

I thought this article summed things up very well. http://www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/magazine_articles/Motor_Trend_article02.html The RX-7 R1 performs admirably in many areas, and considering it's price tag of 30K+ out the door it's literally the best bargain of the bunch. However, I don't...

I happen to think the Twin Turbo RX-7 was a TITS car!!! I knew a friend that had a heavily modified one that ran 11's all day long. He spent about 15k to the already BIG $$$ price of 30k+ to do that. Actually the new Corvette Z06 will pound close to 1G on the skidpad. The RX-7 in it's day...

I stand corrected if your RX-7 is what you say it is. I would LOVE to see what your $30k+ RX-7 looks like and what kind of time slips your running at the track, I am not really concerned about your Autocrossing if you do that since the discussion was about 0-60 and 1/4 miles times to begin...

Are you trying to tell me you have owned a Camaro or Mustang and they have rusted out on you in 2 years, they handle like s***, and are made from recycled plastics? Last time I checked you have owned nothing but import cars so you speak for nobody. If I remember correctly after sitting in my...

First of all get your $$$'s/performance straight. How much are you paying for an NSX-T, Supra TT, RX-7 TT when those came out new $ for $ compared to a Z28 or Mustang? It's not an apples to apples comparison. Don't quote me exactly on these prices but at the time the NSX-T and Supra-TT were...

Well I should have said Mid 13's, and for about 10k less. The last Z28 SS that Motortrend ran an article on was hitting 0-60 in 4.9 seconds and was running low-mid 13's in STOCK form with stock tires. You add a set of BFG drag radials and 3.73 or 3.92 gears and it's pushing 12's all day long...

You need to take ALL of that off the FACTORY INVOICE of $18,466, so you get $13,641 which includes your S Plan (savings plan or whatever that means). There is no reason they should not sell that car at close to INVOICE price maybe $250 over invoice for a little profit but that's all. Print out...

Can you define or expand on what you mean by "Hard Piping", and what existing STOCK piping would need to be replaced to take care of this problem? Thank-you!

I like the open conical style, so my questions are this - 1. Does anyone know if any manufacturer makes an open end filter with a heat shield? 2. If no one currently makes an open end filter with heat shield what is the K&N replacement filter part # to drop into the stock airbox? Thanks!!!

The funny thing is you can buy a used LS-1 Camaro or Firebird for about 10k less than a new EVO that will run LOW 13's all day long with a much higher trap speed. Personally the C4 generation is my Vette of choice. I can't get over the copy-cat NSX styling on the new C5 corvette. To me the C4...

By the way what are the "OFFICIAL" 0-60 and 1/4 mile #'s on the new EVO Lancer and WRX-Ti? Thanks...
