WOW, it nearly beat the the Spec V in acceleration & skidpad & basically tied the SVT Focus. Braking really surprised me because it beat those 2, but not the Matrix. That also shows why you basically NEED the Brembo upgrade on the Spec V to make up for those crappy #s.

Per boostisgood's SEMA report, I don't think they are going to make a Mazdaspeed 3. Based on these #s though, I bet it would kick ass if they did.
 
I just realized how nasty that Yellow is. Hopefully it's just not coming out right because it's photographed, then printed in a magazine, then scanned, & then displayed on my monitor by my screwed up graphics card.

i drove one today. the yellow is really that nasty. the mp3 and the p5 have the better of the yellows. i'm not a fan of the blazing yellow metallic on the msp, but this is indeed worse.

yellow sucks!

BTW, anyone noticed that if you were to cut at the bottom rear corners of the rearmost windows, you can almost envision a P5 rear end?

wow... .87g's on the skidpad. pretty impressive. lower it and throw on a rear sway bar and it'll easily be .90g's on the skidpad. pretty impressive.
