Hey, how the **** am I supposed to understand French???? You gotta be kidding me. No wonder the French judge voted for the Russians, Canadians throw around the French language like a step-child.

YellowPR5 said:Remember everyone, not every Protege5 is created exactly the same. Not every engine is tuned identical to the next when it comes from Mazda. One car could be tuned a little different to provide a little more HP than the next. I'm not saying it could be tuned enough to go from a 17 1/2 second car to a 16 second car, but there can be some differences. I do agree that we need to see some time slips though.
I don't have time slips since I haven't been to a track, but I do have my dyno chart. This dyno was done at NOPI last September. Only mods are lowered suspension and 18" Rims.

I never make a runs over 17s. I launch at 4500-5000 rpm and after I go FULL throttle with power shift at 6000rpm.
For the time that 5 Guardian did (16.02), It's true, I was there.

Ok, so it happened to be on a Honda 900RR motorcycle, but I did it.(Yes, that's sad for a bike, but I wasn't made to drag, gimme twisties!) Hell, I'll even try to post the slips for you in the next day or two.![]()
As for my MP3, I'm guessing it would run about a 20 or so. It's slow as hell, and I wouldn't want to get laughed out of the track trying to run it down the 1/4. I'll stick to AutoX.
As for stock times, or even mods, we're just gonna look sad at the strip without turbo, superchargers, or N2O. I'm not even gonna try.
Just by fifty cents worth.
