You needed to do 120 before shed shag ya? Probably be able to find one that will do it after a quick trip up to 80 or so. I find after there they just grab the oh s*** handles and dont even pay attention to the speedo.

well I knew we were going 120, she probably didn't until I told her once.

I mean, I don't need the help of my car to shag, but it was a habit we did once a week for the 3rd month of dating. the girl wasn't too kinky really, I have an overactive sex drive and so sexual things didnt work well after a while. involved me having to fake an orgasm here and there HAHA.

enough about my sex life though.

my o-s*** storys and a little too small, i havent surprised anyone with my car, but we will see. I am going out to the club the next few nights and I will get back to yall on that.
 
I met my buddies wife for the first time today at a car show. His Olds W-31, his brothers GTO and his sisters The Judge, were on display and wonderful cars they are, very very cool. So she says, so you're the guy who drives sideways on the onramp at eighty miles per hour and scares the s*** out of him. Of course he said i am a very good driver and he was never worried. Back on topic I hope. Still love this thread!
 
Last night coming back from a local cruise with my girlfriend in the car she was commenting how she had never been in a car and gone more than 100mph and I kind of chuckled as another MS3 and I gunned it on a curvy freeway on ramp to 130 and then proceeded to do some freeway runs to which she responded "I like that noise it makes when you shift gears". Thats just the stock bpv too.

I went up to Richmond VA over the weekend to visit a friend. I was telling him about the mazdaspeed3 the last time I was up there...right before I bought it. He's a "car-guy" and drives a 2007 Audi A4 Quattro.

Well, we were driving across town and I hadn't yet opened up the ms3. He was telling me that his dealership was offering base model A4s for high $20's. I told him they were too slow for me :) He asked how many horsepower and how much torque my car has (it's still stock). I told him and he said, "Holy s***!...Yeah, then you won't be happy with an A4".

A couple of minutes later, we saw a 2009 nissan maxima ahead of us. We were about 12-14 car-lengths back in the next lane. I mentioned that they were nice looking cars. He said, "Well, if you would catch up to him, maybe I would be able to tell!" I gave it some gas and within a couple of seconds we were next to the maxima. To this he commented, "And that right there, my friend, is why I would rather have your car than his..."
 
Hahaha... just had an unsuspecting passenger...

so my friend just came back up from LA to SF after he finished up some summer school. he hadn't been in my ms3 yet since I bought it while he was down south. he calls me up tonight and we kicked it for a while (he had his own car atm) but we head back to his place and he asks for a ride in the car. this dude loves leanin when hes sittin so he gets in my car and reclines back pretty damn far (hes just chillin he had been drinkin earlier in the night). its lightly raining and I just moderately take him through the local streets and head on to the free way. basically soft launch from 2nd and row through up to about 85 (just a pure straight away). as i get off the freeway dude had reclined his seat back up and just kept uttering "holy s*** this car is quick" over and over. I drop him off and he stands there and watches me drive off (he loved the sound of the stock exhaust). I come back home, and he had already im'ed me and said "dude, your car is ******* quick".
 
Car loaded up with myself and four passangers...all of whom have been in the car before. Driving up an on ramp onto the highway I floored it in second and gave out a nice round of heart attacks. One of my friends asked me nicely not to do that without warning because it really hurt his back. His girlfriend said nothing but sat their giggling for about 20 minutes. I couldn't believe how fast it was with 5 people in it. It was good because I had everyone's support when anoter friend tried telling everone how his R32 is so much faster than the speed. He was all alone with that statement. We haven't raced, but it is the concensus of everyone that the speed is faster than my friends 2004 R32 and my other friends 2008 evo x. Everyone except the owners of those cars of course.
 
Got another one! I gave a friend a first ride in the Speed over the weekend. We were at his place playing Wii and decided we needed a few brats for the grill.

He hops in and says "Yeah, I'm glad to see you're getting something practical instead of the hotrods you've always had. It just proves that your priorities are changing as you're getting older. Remember when you said that you wouldn't drive anything other than a hotrod?" That short paragraph was followed by a quick 1, 2, 3 going out onto the highway... "JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESUS!!!" was all he could say. As we pulled into the grocery store parking lot, I said "... you were saying???"

Well that's interesting, because it's not faster than the Evo X at all. But hey, you keep telling yourself that I guess?

No, but it's damn close (even) from a roll and with an intake the speed3 is actually a bit faster. I think the EVO X MR only runs about 13.8 in the 1/4, faster than us but not by too much. Not saying that makes the EVO X any less of a car or anything because I would still love to have one. Power to weight ratio is almost identical between the EVO X and the MS3.

The numbers don't support that. It runs about 13.5@103 in the 1/4 and sub-5 second 0-60. If you look at the C&D comparison tests:

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews..._mitsubishi_evo_gsr_vs_vw_r32_comparison_test

The Evo bests the MS3 in 5 - 60 rolling starts, 30 - 50 roll ons, and 50 - 70 roll ons. Plus there is no way the MS3 can keep up on a track. I'm not sure by which metric you could ever call the MS3 faster.

It doesent really matter what is faster, if I wanted a faster car I would have gotten the caliber srt4, but it is ugly and poorly built, but who cares, this is a thread about having fun and enjoying the MS3 not about bragging rights and who is right or wrong, so please back on topic, end of rant(blah)
 
I became the unsuspecting passenger....sitting in the passenger seat and not knowing when someone is gonna stomp on it gives you a whole different angle on things

last night i over indulged and my buddy drove me home in my car. he was the only one at the gathering that had a manual and its an old S10. he had never been in my car before, let alone drive it. needless to say we took the long way home and he was grinning from ear to ear, meanwhile my drunk ass was grabbing the oh s*** handle in the twisties.
