Caliber srt-4 goes 0-60 in 5.5 seconds

Again how?

I'm talking about Speed wise Not handing wise When I say SRT's Walking on MS3's.

In Handling mazda fell below the previous years

You are making a statement about Mazda handling without any evidence or references. Are we talking subjective "butt measurements"?(glare)

I agree that the new Mazda 3 chassis does not have the same steering feel that the Proteges had, but the new Mazdas are still at the top of the heap, handling wise, in their respective classes and price range compared to other manufactures.
 
You heard right...the quality of handling performance Characteristics have Fallen over the years with new model Mazda's.

Our handling should Rival BMW, and we don't.

I read all you MS3er's making a mockery of the SRT-4..but you will soon get a horrible reality check when SRT's start walking on MS3's just like the SRT walked on the MSP's.

Let us not be high and mighty here..(fuoops)

nice job on posting somethings totally un-true
 
its just someone trying to stir things up a bit

start a war, you know ... like the "i vtec" guy

if you ignore them, they go away

First off, I could personally give a **** if the SRT is quicker in the 1/4 mile or 0-60 or whatever, it is still an ass-ugly car. Trust me, when the inevitable magazine comparos come out, the MS3 will be on top when everything is taken into consideration.

Second, why should our handling should rival BMW? You are comparing two totally different platforms, FWD vs. RWD, as well as a completely different class of vehicles.

You want to see sloppy handling? Check out that video on youtube that compares the 2008 WRX vs. the MS3, and get back to me when you've got your head out of your ass.

Ummmmmmmm what?
 
^^ keep telling yourself that and it might come true

"when you wish upon a star...."

Actually the senior manager for SRT, Herb Helbig, said that. Just relaying the message since this thread is about the SRT-4 and people tend to think the handling will blow.

Thank you....unsubscribing

Hey guys...don't frown on me...I only agreed with one of her points which was in fact true, but skewed to the negative. Most everything else she said was just crazytalk....
 
you're unsubscribing after that?!!! hahaha but it's true!!

as good as the MS3 is... it is somewhat strange that the MSP handles better. obviously that's all it does better but still. don't believe me? drive the 2 cars back to back then talk to me. better yet... check out their respective skidpad and slalom #s. mind you there are more factors... but those are good indicators.
 
For me the way a car looks is more important. You can always make a car faster, but there is only so much you can do to the chassis and body lines to make it look totally different.

I would hate myself for sitting in a car everyday that looks like a turd, sorry.
 
You can paint the ugly black plastic littered all over the mirrors and top, but you cannot change those hideous fender flares at the rear, or those horrible tail lights that extend out into the side of the car, the WAY too big rear spoiler, overall It's too squared, and even if the dimensions are close to the MS3, the MS3 hides it and looks 234234324 more like a hatch than this fugly POS.

Agreed but there are things you can do to help minimize the eye sores. A simple change of wheels with beefier tires can help fill those fender flares better. Maybe coat the tails with nightshades? But you at least gotta give SRT credit for making something that looked like garbage look at least presentable and a little more unique.
