Are you mad that an SRT-4 (or mp3 turbo) can beat our MSP?

[BlackMSP]

Well SRT-4's are good machines no doubt, but im tired of everyone running around thinking they are like the "best" or somthing. For as much money as it would cost to mod our MSP's to be as fast as a SRT-4 we could buy a hatch with a swap that would blow the SRT-4 out of the water! Another option is a 2nd Gen AWD DSM... Thats exactly what im doing lol. I would not trade the looks, and handling of my MSP for the speed of an SRT-4 so I decided to just put a few more "performance" mods on my MSP, and spend most of the money in looks. I am sure its the opposite with SRT-4 owners lol. I am also going to start a civic hatch up soon just so I can beat the SRT-4's who think they are hot s*** running around at low 14 second 1/4 miles. You can spend about $5k on a hatch (crx, or newer) with a swap (all motor) that not only runs 13 second 1/4 miles but also looks a hell of alot better than an SRT-4 lol! So if your a little mad becuase the SRT-4's faster just save up some money and go buy junkyard hatchback shell swap in a motor put some more "stuff" into it and go have fun at the track! haha I cant wait

(chair) I don't drag race or street race, so I could care less how much quicker the above mentioned is. There are many, many, many reasons I chose my MAZDASPEED over anything else. On looks alone, that's a good enough reason; in my opinion. (btw: I like the MP3 just fine)

Street Racing is actually pretty stupid(even thoupgh i have participated in it before) That's why I am at the point where I don't care how fast that kia or honda is....i

 

[sundevilMP5]

I was just reading the Car and Driver review of the SRT-4, and it sounds like it is a great performance car, but not a great day-to-day driving car (they stated something like that in the review). Prior to getting my MSP, I drove a Camaro Z28. It had lots of power and was lots of fun when you were able to actually use that power. However in spite of the lack of gut-wrenching torque, I find the MSP a much nicer car to drive. It is quick enough to give you some hustle when you need it, and the handling is superb. There are also some smaller details that I like such as the shifting (clunky in the Camaro and apparently not much fun in the SRT-4) and the stereo system. I chose the MSP for its blend of decent performance and practicality. The SRT-4 sounds like a really fun car and I'm not going to bash it, as I'm sure there are many people who would prefer the bias towards performance like I did when I bought my Camaro. However the common theme in this thread, and from professional reviewers, seems to be that the MSP is just a great all-round car, and thats probably what most of us were looking for.

cool.......

Yeah, I'm mad as hell.
There are dozens of other vehicles faster than our MSP. Just enjoy what you have, don't get in a "my dick is bigger than yours" mentality.

 

[Newf]

again, there's a SRT4 thread in the OFF TOPIC section.

Moderator PLEASE!

Matter of fact I'll join in this discussion, but I'm asnwering over in the OFF TOPIC section.

Funny, I can get Mazda to actually look into making a fix for the clunk, but I can't get a few Mazdaspeed owners to move this srt4 nonsense over to the off topic section....arg.

 

[Caffeine]

maybe if you want to drive an SRT go ahead, i think they look like a piece of s***.

 

[AFaceInTheCrowd]

I'M A FREAKIN 18 YEAR OLD AND I WANNA STREET DRAG EVERYONE!!!!! AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

na, i'm just playin, i think street racing is stupid (although i have been known to watch). i don't do it anymore since i almost killed myself when i spun out and ended up 2 ft from the retaining wall... that was a big wakeup call. so i just watch. i know its illegal, but i've cut down a lot and now i'm getting into rally and road races. so are a bunch of the other ppl at my school. they are choosing subis (WRX and STi) over civics and drag cars. sure you can make a civic go fast, but can it take the greuling (sp?) lenghts and the elements?

 

[Slipstream]

Like has been said before, the SRT-4, while an AMAZING straightline racer and not-too-shabby handler, isn't the best car for daily driving. Owners have commented on the car's rather loud exhaust (no stock mufflers), restrictive seats for bigger people (I have broad shoulders), and excessively tight suspension (to the point of discomfort for some folks). ...Not to mention its cheap looking sheet metal and very boy-racer looks.

I see the SRT-4 as being the balls-to-the-wall, race-track machine, where the MSP is the more refined, well-rounded, aggressive daily driver.

 

[igdrasil]

Stop it, of course, car looks ugly...but its ok, will only lay on reliability over time.
All reviews put the mazdaspeed following the srt, and surprise...the Civic Si as the worst car.
But, the new Type R is comming later this year with aprox 192HP.

Ive posted a video of one street racing a WRX and a Talon, both asshandled.
