Thunderhill racing park laptimes by Road and track.

Misconception that Camaros are straight line only cars

SS Camaro - 2 minutes, 16.46 sec

M Roadster - 2 minutes, 17.28 sec

Z8 - 2 minutes, 13.30 sec

S2000 - 2 minutes, 17.66 sec

NSX - 2 minutes, 14.15 sec

SLK320 - 2 minutes, 20.87 sec

Boxter S - 2 minutes, 17.46 sec

996 turbo - 2 minutes, 10.73 sec

More facts! Nobody contests the fact that old school muscle cars SUCKED at handling, were heavy and ungainly. But the Modern muscle car is not scared of a corner and with some suspension mods, downright loves them!

dodge ran a SRT4 with stage 1 and mopar coil overs at One Lap of America and won their class beating many EVO's and STI's. They are great cars, you guys just don't know how to drive.............seriouly.

Agreed! They take a different driving style. With a Stock SRT4 Slow in, fast outis the best strategy, can't carry speed through the corner like an msp but that torque comes in real handy on corner exits. Let the power pull you through.

Hell more gas for the fire... let's spark this one up too then... just found this great quote on a review site:

Davis went on to say: "The Mazdaspeed 3 will be ripping streets new potholes later this year."

YEAH YEAH!... that beyotch is gonna be nice right out of the box... for a wagon that is.

You'll get no compliants about the MS3's perfomance potential from me. Seems like Mazda stopped putzing around, got serious and decided to do it right this time. Serious Power, serious torque, planted handling, a strong motor, excellent interior. Too bad they put all that great stuff in a car thats just not very good looking........(peep)

Mazda 3 Hatch and MS3 Styling FTL!

 

[Donas64]

If I could somehow take all the hardware and the tinterior from the MS3 and Put it in the P5, MP3 or MSP body, I would be in enconocar NIRVANA!

The all new WRX is coming out next summer for about the same price with 250+ hp and awd. My msp is a pain in the ass to drive in the rain with only 197hp to the wheels, I won't be looking at another fwd turbo car anytime soon.

 

[Donas64]

Unfortunatly, someone also beat my beloved with a WRX with an ugly stick. It's now got a face only a mother could love. I'm all for taking styling chances. As a graphic designer I do it all the time but yeesh! The MS3 if far to stubby and chunky looking. I know it's a hatch but man it's not a good looking car, and subary just overstyled the HECK outta the WRX. I know it's the new company face started with the (UGLY) B9 Tribeca but they could have spared the REX that cruel facelift. The best looking Subie as of now is the Legacy GT Spec B....until they choose to butcher that too!

I don't make it a point to go flooring it and hauling ass around in the rain... but to each his own.

Ah, a fellow former Sales-weasel! Much props to you man. Thanks for always keeping us posted on the new car info! Forgive my ignorance. I'm relativly new to the boards so I don't really know a lot of people.

Not former sales but former parts. Your welcome. I have alot of spare time here at work so I'm always surfing the internet for auto news. I was giving you a hard time about knowing me.

New one get a facelift?... for the love of God I hope so...

The Legacy gets a facelift in 08 and its not butched. I miss my 05 Legacy GT Limited. I want to trade the Alty for a Spec B or Mazdaspeed6. I love both cars.

I've been here since 2003 when I had my 03 P5 and then a 04 Miata LS. But I've stayed here because all the other forums I have been on do not have great and awesome members that this forum has. Granted I only post mostly in the auto news forums now.

Why did you get rid of the Legacy GT?

Why did you get rid of the Legacy GT?

Because the ex could not deal with it going in for check lights all the time. Plus Subaru service sucks. You can not sell a car to the BMW or Benz owners and treat them like they drive a Chevy. It was traded for Murano. I'm glad we are not together anymore. No more said about that.

As stated before... neither the MS6 or the new MS3 scream Mazdaspeed... they just don't have that cutting edge look. I wish they would have put more effort into the body styling... did you ever see the pictures of the Concept 626 from the Geneva auto show?

If you ask me... the damn EVO got its styling from this...!!!!! DAMN THEM TO HELL!!!

But we were talking about the stock SRT-4. That coilover set-up is like 2 grand.

I don't think it was 2 grand for Dodge. The SRT-4 listed out at 23K with the stage 3 installed.

I don't think so because EVOs have had similar styling since the mid 90s.

Not where I live... :bs:
