Mazdaspeed Protege vs Rx-8

[msp_rad]

you should have no prob, i just raced one yesterday

 

[skittle]

my cars pretty much stock and it was close

 

[Ricktalife]

so the new cobalt ss is turbocharged i hear?

 

[c7scayman]

Yeah the new Cobalt uses the same 265HP turbo engines from the Satrun Sky Redline and Pontiac Solstice GXP.
0-60mph in 5.7 seconds. Faster than the older Dodge Neon SRT-4 and as fast as the Mazdaspeed 3.

I want to see what he says when you beat him.lol

aren't they supercharged?? because they sure as hell sound like they are...

 

[ForceFed]

Supercharged until this year..Now they are 2.4 Turbo..and a beast at that.

You mean, as a fast as the older SRT4 and faster than the MS3. Though the difference in acceleration figures in those 3 cars in absolutely minimal.....

 

[b_dues]

2.4 turbo in the new cobalt? same engine as the neon srt-4? what about the new caliber? is that a 2.4t as well?

 

[Rotary_Powered]

2.0L direct injection 260hp motor in the cobalt. the caliber uses a 2.4L making about 300hp at the crank (look at the dyno's the engine is under-rated)

 

[solo.]

I can rock an E36 M3.

 

[foild1]

damn, i didn't know the SRT4's were so quick? You guys dont think a MSP with CustomMSP SMIC, corksport powerseries exhaust, and injen CAI could beat one?

 

[slo03.5msp]

Srt-4's aren't that fast I pounded one on two cylinders

 

[Knox Joe]

damn, i didn't know the SRT4's were so quick? You guys dont think a MSP with CustomMSP SMIC, corksport powerseries exhaust, and injen CAI could beat one?

It's possible. It would probably have to be a stage 1 though. I have beaten a few lightly modified ones.

 

[Outlawstar98]

I beet a 300m once...... the guy thought he can take a import with a Tuned 300m ( he gained 46 HP from it though LOL) but its still a boat. cant handle and isnt fast LOL (idhitit)

 

[axisboldaslove]

no not from a dig

damn, i didn't know the SRT4's were so quick? You guys dont think a MSP with CustomMSP SMIC, corksport powerseries exhaust, and injen CAI could beat one?

 

[MSPLIFE]

Well i had a friend of mine with an srt4 claiming that i would have no chance k. He had at the time: Huge fmi, type S bov, TBE, CAI, boosting 18psi and i can't remember what else. I had: Perrin fmi with hks bov vented, vibrant exhaust, gt28rs at 10psi, home made sri, and splitsecond with super stock map. So he desided that we should go and race, we race like 3 times and i took his ass by 2 cars. But than again is all about the driver

 

[c7scayman]

Yeah, those SRT-4's are very quick.
But adding 30-40HP to your msp should make it quicker than a stock SRT-4, or very close.

 

[kamon8404]

Yeah I admire the strength of the SRT4 and the fact you can make it like 500whp and still be under warranty is insane. I just can't get over how ugly they are in stock form. Some with carbon fiber hood, trunk, rims, lowered, and dark tint is something I could get used to driving everyday. However, I wouldn't want to dump that much money into the exterior of a car to enjoy looking at it though.
