Antoine said:After reading some of your comments...I realized the new srt-4 is not even in the same league as the MS3...Now I appreciate the 4's "affordable" performance factor but that's ALL it offers...The MS3 will be better in just about every category from handling to looks and even though the 2.3 DIT has around 50 less ponnies...It's potential is limitless!
Hold off on the trash talk and let's discuss potential here...
Totally agree with the srt4 comments. to me the srt4 didn't' compare to the MSP in some ways but we won't go there.
But, you and I have been here long enough to know that there are eyes here from MNOA. If they are releasing press pictures, I'd be willing to bet that some of them are looking on the net wondering what peoples opinions are on the look. If we don't like it, now is the time to say so, not when it's on the road 6 months from now.
I don't hate it, it's just not for me. It's another "cute hatchback" that has the possibility to kick some butt ( on a good day where heat soak and fuel isn't a problem that is)
I already owned a "cute hatchback". And every time I heard someone call it a "cute hatchback" I cringed.
....if there's absolutely nothing else for me to buy, who knows...

Power is delivered through a equal length half-shafts, equipped with a limited slip differential for uniform side-to-side power transfer.
Notice it doesn't say anything about front to rear power transfer.

Please don't tell me that you're ignorant enough to think that gearing and power delivery, weight and aerodynamics have nothing to do with acceleration. (thumb)Iggy said:

Antione hit it on the nose: "Potential"
do ANY of our cars LOOK or perform well STOCK?
imagine this car with a turbo 2.3 base :
and with this body kit
and now throw in some of the the engine/turbo work that Juan (HiBoost) is doing.
i know it may not be to everyones taste but is is defiantly something new on the street and pushing 300whp easy!
i'd buy that for a $1.

i wonder what the price will be....i wonder if when this comes out the price of the regular 3 will drop dramatically? because if the ms3 costs too much you could always get a regular mazda3 and get juan to hook you up i bet it would come to about the same possibly. but then again i know the "warrenty" issue but still you never know.
i bet it would come to about the same possibly. but then again i know the "warrenty" issue but still you never know.i for one, couldn't give a **** about what the mazdaspeed3 will or will not compete with. it hasn't been released yet, neither has the caliber srt-4. as of right now, everything is just speculation.
just because you don't like it, doesn't mean they're gonna change it so that you'll buy it. if you don't buy it, sucks for you, better for everyone else that will.
given the history of SRT-4s, obviously they're going to be a bargain performance car. mazdaspeeds on the other hand are cars that are well-rounded.
the potential of both the cars are huge, but since no one has one of these cars in their own hands, again, it's all speculation of what they can do.

I'll drink to that... man for it being my birthday, I really needed a nap earlier. At any rate, what hiboost has done with our cars has got me thinking to ditch my MSP for a grand touring 3... At any rate, save for the FWD, it a bargain compared to any other car. Selling cars all day, the GT M3 is the only car that I've given people the sticker price on, and they were surprised how cheap it was.Iggy said:
