Can it be?

[2K3 MSP]

Has any one else heard of the car magazine testers running a 14.8 or a 14.9?? I know in the beginning, all were supposedly running 15.2. I figured that was with a goor driver. But if people now are saying 14.8(or 14.9) is that maybe with slicks? or just a REALLY good driver?

A magazine that actually drove the MSP in a realistic fashion.
This is from the "Road Test Results" section in the May issue of Motor Trend page 144.
MzdSpd Protege /03 tested on the date of 10/02
0-60 6.5 secs, 1/4 in 14.9 secs, slalom 68.3 MPH.
Now this does seem to conflict with the 15.8's etc. we have seen being bandied about the other car mags pages.
Perhaps those other Mag's writers should have gone to driving school to compliment their ahem, writing skills with some "Road" skills.

Better hurry, cause only 2000 are limited to the U.S. or All you'll be seeing is the new Mazdaspeed's taillights (14.9@93.2mph)

0-60......6.5sec
1/4mile..14.9@93.2mph
slalom 68.3mph
