Help me out....Buying...pffff

[9JordonFlex9]

Im lookin into buyin a new car, but obviously I can mod to a decent power range...250-300whp(at most...) I know mazda3 can hit 250whp with no internals being worked on . Anywho...I did test drive a Mazda3 and LOVED the stock shifter...n riding experience...but not to its true potential of course...some questions...

How much you pay for your 3? i, S? 4 or 5door?
If you bought hiboost kit...how was installation?
Possible to hit 275whp and wtq(around) with turbo kit, hi flow cat, 2.5 or 2.75 exhaust, and emanager?
Is the suspesion, which i know is nice...sport tuned? haha...Cuz the other car im really considering is the tC...both are same price range, both have turbo kits so forth so on...both look great! the mazda has better interior looks, powerplant about the same....

any help?
thanks

why don't you just wait for the mazdaspeed 3 which should run between 22-23k and comes stock with over 250hp. It should be availabe this fall.

I think the Mazda has a better set-up. The TC's suspension is soft and poorly designed. The 3 has much better potential IMO not to mention it has 4 doors which comes in handy from time to time. But as said above, just wait a few more months for the MS 3. Otherwise if you want additional 3 parts, try www.mazdamotorsports.com, I am not positive that they have parts but its worth checking.
