MAZDASPEED owners!!

[AGR]

For all of you that are frantically looking for more power so you can go out and whoop up on a Neon - you bought the wrong car. I have to wonder if they are as hung up on drag racing (or street racing) at (for instance) the WRX forums, as many of you are.

How many of you have 'actually' gone out looking for the "Back Road Boogie", or "twisties", and have fun that way. And; I don't mean pushing the envelope, on the edge of disaster, or racing one of your friends. (no)
Check it out sometime, and see what the MAZDASPEED is really about. Or yeah! Or Autocross.

I'm sure plenty of ppl do. For the locals in SD I've hit up sunrise highway, telegraph, the 67, and still want to hit up palomar as far as roads go. It's just there is more talk about drag racing. I do it, but can I beat a srt4? No, not yet. It would be nice to out run and out handle the pos car don't you think? It's kind of easier to find a 1/8 mile on the streets than nice turns so naturally that is where us "kids" are going to go heads up at or enjoy or need for speed.

Well I won't play with MSP's in autocross until I get an LSD. Coming out of corners in my Saturn SC2 was a b****, let alone almost 100 more HP and countless amounts more torque.

That's one thing I learned being in the SCCA...the fastest car on the straights don't mean s*** in auto-x. Hell I was beating up on cars that would embarrass me and not even have to shift into 3rd gear on the straightaway.

Please, let's not make this another SRT vs. MSP thread. Please?

AGR is trying to make that exact point, the MSP and SRT are diffrent cars, with different MOs. Enjoy them for what they are, not what they arnt.

As for soundbombing calling the SRT-4 a pos, Im pretty sure he missed AGRs point.

 

[QwikSRT4]

I understand the point he was trying to make. I'm just simplifying it for the people that couldn't decipher his post.

****ALERT****ALERT****ALERT****ALERT****

I am not trying to start a flame
war here, it is an honest, serious
question, not a slam.

Hey, QwikSRT4, if your trying to prevent MSP vs SRT-4 threads becuase your tired of hearing all that crap, may I ask why you have a quote that pretty much dogs the MSP in favor of the SRT-4?

 

[TampaBlackMSP]

I was just thinking the same thing Cruzin! Hmm, let's see, sign up/log on to a PROTEGE board, and use a quote in your sig that bashes us. I don't care if it was someone else's quote or not, take it to a pos board. Whatever - if speed were the only thing in the world that mattered, oh nevermind...it's a moot point. And a beaten up one.

There is ALWAYS something/someone faster, I don't care who you are. I just happen to refuse to compromise SO MANY other features of a car just for the ONE thing that makes the Neon "special"...but that's why we all have opinions and preferences.

It may take more time, but my MSP will be PLENTY fast....

 

[chwood]

well...yeah, the car excels in the corners, but does anyone here dispute that it would be even MORE fun if it were faster in a line or quicker on the draw?

Why rest on just one when you might be able to get both?

A little more HP? Sure!!

Yes,,, and that is what I was saying in another thread. Adding boost to around 10psi is really 'Grin-Worthy'. I'm lovin' it! And; it's not going over-the-top crazy. How much HP now? I would guesstimate maybe 190 before the wheels. Will I dyno it? Unlikely. I might use my buddies G-Tech Pro that is on loan to me, though.

 

[QwikSRT4]

Well, cuz I come in here and the MSP guys scanned through the Edmunds article and came through and made all the points that the writer said good about the the MSP.

I just thought I'd grab one for my SRT, that's all.

 

[CruzinAltitude]

The diffrence is the MSP owners are probably not on the SRT forums complaining about MSP vs. SRT threads with those quotes as thier sigs. I may be wrong. . . or I just might be on to something.

 

[CruzinAltitude]

Like I said, Im not trying to break out the molotov cocktails here, just pointing out what I think is a bit of an oxymoron.

 

[QwikSRT4]

Most of the MSP owners on the SRT boards now own SRTs....maybe I'm onto something...

 

[TampaBlackMSP]

Agreed Cruzin!...He comes on this board and finds us pointing out (or quoting) the positives of our cars. Go figure, the last time I checked it was a Mazda dedicated site...oh well, I've gotta get back to work anyway - such a pointless way to spend time for me right now...I'm easily distracted

I think the better question is: why are there trolls like you asking these kinds of questions? And, why do people respond? I'm responding because I'm in awe of Greg's uninformed, generalized, and ignorant opinion of everyone who owns an MSP.... It's a good example of the 'tude' I see on this forum... and I guess when people like Greg are bored, this is what he does.

What's worse is you ask a vague question as to whether people actually drive their car in an agressive way but, only in certain ways that only he understands what he's asking. There's no right answer. Especially without giving examples of what you've done, Troll. You have a sig file with huge racing groups... Do you belong to them? Have you raced at LeMans?

Do you know anything about 90% of the members here? I didn't think so... So, why bother posting your complete BS generalizations? Does that really get you off? Are you that bored?

I can't wait for your well-thought-out and insightful response... the suspense is killing me!

 

[AGR]

Hey Fellas!!! C'mon......

I didn't start this thread so it could become a 'war zone'. Let's all get along. Okay?

 

[CruzinAltitude]

LOL, you got me there! Bottom line. . . F'n enjoy what you drive!

 

[QwikSRT4]

Oxymoron? No I'm simply pointing out anytime the damn SRT-4 is mentioned on your guys' board it turns into a huge flame war...I just didn't want another one to start.

As for my sig...I'm sorry if something as simple as a signature ruffles your feathers.

 

[CruzinAltitude]

CarlM2, play nice, thats not a good way to make friends on your first day of school!

 

[CarlM2]

Did I misread Greg's intent?
If so, very sorry.. Sorry... just got irritated on this one for some reason... and got 'inflamed'... I'll be cool.
