I love this car too... So, I got past 1000kms and opened it up for real for the first time today... You know, I was wrong... this thing actually would smoke an RX-8... I had the best thing EVER happen last night. I was cruzing in the rain (I don't street race so don't take this like it was a race)... and behind me pulls up a Mercedes SL 55 AMG (500hp RWD right...) . So I catch him in my mirror, and he is tailing me pretty hard. I STOMP on it, and in my mirror this guy tries to stomp it to keep up, and he fishtails like a mad man... he starts to gain, and I take a turn at about 60kph, he fishtails behind me still trying to keep up and ends up doing a donut instead of turning..... I FRICKIN LOVE THIS CAR... LOL....
Anyway, I LOVE MY NEW WHEELS too!!! I am getting tint on Saturday, I'll post a couple more pics with the new rims and tint, after I get a wash... it does get dirty fast
I would love to come out to any Vancouver Mazda meets, I live in Walnut Grove right now, but my house is up for sale and I plan to move back to Burnaby when it sells.
