People sleep on our cars

My buddy with a tsi tells me our car is slow and its a waist to buy.
He also thinks it takes to much money to make it fast. It's a ugly little station wagon with big rims and a POS turbo.
He tells me he has more comp. with a tc than our car. Not saying a tc is bad, i love them and i know they have potienal my brother has one.
Yeah i was kinda pissed.

P.S The tsi is not running but when it was i guess it was quick it had a big turbo, front mount and exhaust to say the least.

how long has his car been down? Has he even been able to run against a ms3?
and just how fast was his car before it broke?

 

[laloosh]

lol typical dsm pos. Crazy fast when it runs, the problem is that it doesnt run

P.S The tsi is not running

big shock..... let him know that with the hundreds of dollars he dumps into the tsi every month he could be driving something nicer because speed isn't everything, but reliable speed is nice, and that is something you will never get with a talon, i bet you out handle him too.....

wow that came off as defensive....sorry but i hate dsm guys, evo guys arn't much better but thats because most of the time they are the same people with deeper pockets

TSI = not running
mazdaspeed 3 = Running low 14s.

Mazdaspeed 3 wins!!!

Seriously though, you should come to your own conclusions instead of listening to other people. If you drove the ms3 and enjoyed it, good for you, i prefer an "ugly little wagon" to a "beat up, 10 year old mitsubishi" but thats just my personal opinion.

Some people prefer an is250 because its luxurious, even though it has an 8.5 second 0-60 time.

I test drove an MS3, and the car just fit, i loved every single little thing about it, still do. a tsi might be faster, but I wouldn't be happy driving it.

Besides, you can fit something like 5 kegs in the 3.

And every single automotive journal has had nothing but wonderful things to say about the speed3.... and the MZR disi won engine of the year.... i mean.... cmon, seriously, its a great car, not the fastest thing on the road, but its just a damn fine automobile.

People get attached to their cars, when I had my corolla XRS, i saw the speed3 had a curb weight of 3200 lbs or whatever and was like "pffft, its too heavy to be fast!" because I kept trying to rationalize to myself why my corolla was better. Then I drove the speed3, and bought it that day.

This summarizes 95% of the posts on most car forums... even this one.
The other 5% is useful information that is buried.
