lol
Welcome aboard, Jay!!
Indeed, Steph! You are so very right! I Love my MAZDASPEED!!
......slippery when wet!
In my opinion, and probably the opinion of every MAZDASPEED owner on this forum - there is simply no car like the MAZDASPEED for $20,500. The ultimate 'complete package' sports sedan on the market. It is KING!!! Drive one, and you will understand. I promise.
It's top speed is 130mph, I believe; only because there is a cut off at that speed. I have heard it will easily achieve 140mph. Mine has been 110mph, and it was climbing fast from there.
As far as the suspension, nothing in it's class comes close. It corners like it's on rails, with very little body roll. It's incredible!
To put the MAZDASPEED's suspension into perspective, you only need look at Sport Compact Car Magazine's Oct. '02 test on the car: "The fastest car we have ever tested through the slalom (77mph). It dethroned the Integra Type R, as their benchmark. Very impressive, when you consider that the Integra Type R has 220HP to the 170HP of the MAZDASPEED. So; what the MAZDASPEED lacks in horsespower, it makes up for in handling. Impressive stuff!
The Kenwood Excelon Sound System is the best I have heard in a production car. There are better, but the cars that these systems are in cost a whole lot more than $20,500.
By the way......it's Carroll Shelby (not Carol Shelby). I own many of his personally signed pieces. One of my other passions is the original Shelby Cobras.
so how fast is it? how does it handle? and is it worth the buy? hows the soundsystem? sorry for the noob questions, just wanna make sure ill like the car.. THANK YOU! hope to hear some responses
