Look what I found on the solara forums !!!

Mazda Protoge`

notice he adds the accent at the end... but it's going the wrong way :(

oh well, he tried... sorta
 
hahahaha, I love it when people underestimate our cars. At least that fast ones. The people who estimate mine are usually right ;)
 
"wow.... thats digusting mazda proteges are extremely slow.. i drive a celica gt 5-speed with only exhaust and intake and can beat those starting in 2nd gear no problem at all.. lol...

ps.. i'll give u credit tho u came out and admitted "\



huh, i find this funny....my bone stock P5 outran the 3.0L V6 avalon (it was a four door solara). This was from a second gear roll up to 90mph. I pulled slowly on him, but by the end of 90mph i was 2 cars ahead.....this can be verified by the owner who is a friend of mine.

Toyotas are s*** and blah.
 
i'm gonna show my girlfriend this thread. she just bought a 2004 solara about a week ago. it's nice, but i still love my car.
 
I thought Toyotoa Smellicas were slow. Don't they have about the same whp that p5's do but are heavier? I'm only going on second hand info.
 
Some of you guys are narrow minded.

probably some domestic guy is laughing at this.

"Toyotas are s*** and blah."

Mr2? Mk iv supra?
 
For the record, a Solara is a 2-door Camry. Therefor the Avalon is not a 4 door Solara. The Avalon is a TANK. Things are friggin' huge! Hated driving my in-laws Avalon! Yuck, Yuck, Yuck.....EW!!
 
either way...I outran a car that had 50% bigger engine than me with 50% more pistons and probably 50 more hp....either way it lost to my slow-ass protege.

There's a saying in the racing community..."Run what ya brung" If it's slower than mine....oh well.

"The road was curvy and at the speeds we were going"

thats all i have to say.

mr2 spider = s*** lol. I would never ever drive one. I think the protege5 interior is nicer.... plus you don't have to replace your engine if you get in a fender bender (rofl2) but props to the supra.... lol the best toyota by far.

the last gen mr2 is a beast, the new mr2 spyder is....uh, yeah.... (uhm)
Those the car engineering is neat in way that its light as hell and how's the whole car is set up....(This car did a touge duels with skyline and beat it on the downhill...of course modded but there was like 150 hp difference)

so its good car, well balanced i guess...
 
If this guys was racing a Mazdaspeed, no doubt the MSP would have won. If it was a P5, or regular Protege, it might have just been a crazy driver.
