actually, the spoiled rich kid here drives a Viper GTS. His 2nd one.

That damn thing is hard to catch too

 

[Ryan]

LOL, rich kids around my neighborhood when i lived in tn are rolling in bmw's / land rovers, and the very few that are into the scene are rollin in honda's acura's with about 20 g's dropped into them. none of which they earned but were given.

keep the mp3....and turbo it.....we have both and just finished waxing both the speed and the mp3.....the MP3 is way nicer

 

[Newf]

just curious, why do you say the mp3 is better? Any points about it you want to make?

I agree, outside, the MP3 is the prettier car....by far.

 

[oliver2000]

Seats are nicer, the wheels are nicer, the colour is nicer, is does not suffer from lag< hesitation> bad fuel maps, gets better mileage, the sound is better on the stereo.

If the MP3 was not my wifes...I would have turbo'd that instead of buying the MSP....the MSP is nice and when/if Mazda fixes the ecu issues it will be fine. We have a CAI in the MP3 and it sounds nice.

 

[Newf]

how much of a difference is there is fuel mileage?

I took these at the Detroit Auto Show. Maybe they will help!

OMG, these are the best pics we've seen of this car....where have you been hiding too? Any more of these things? the quality is awesome.

To those that don't know this : Please note, the car in these shots does not have the final wheels on it. These are the 2003 wheels which are much lighter.

But man! THANKS!

 

[nate0123]

Glad I could be of help. No, I only took 3 pics of the MSP...

 

[Newf]

regardless, thank you.

Newfs got new wallpaper

 

[pshaw34]

i think you should go with the msp. From what people talk about on here, you wont regret it at all

Here is another picture from the same show

one more

 

[oliver2000]

we get 470KM's out of a tank on the mp3, and 440 on the msp....the msp is still new thou

 

[Newf]

Yeah, my mp3 got crap mileage until the first oil change as well. Then she was getting around 550 around town, now I'm lucky to get 470 out of it???? wtf?

So, that might get a little better....might not.

Those other pics from the detriot show are the ones I posted here originally, but thanks. Anyone else got some their hiding....POST EM!

 

[Geezer000]

I'm getting about 555km's on 45L's of gas in my MSP.......I'm gonna give it it's first oil change this week.

I bet you do a lot of freeway driving or no hills.
