Question On Red MS3?

[ZooMIN3]

I believe the GT comes with an anti-theft system...whatever that means...lol

I guess its the panic button?

It's kinda funny how some ppl want the RED because it "stands out"... lol! That's exactly why I didn't want it.It will "stand out" alright I'm sure (five-0) Houston we got a "TRUE RED" Mazdaspeed 3 going 100+mph down south street, roger back up is coming....Then you're off to jail (butthump)

That's a good question! I was trying to figure that one out myself (braindead

i think it's more than that. Theft-Deterrent Security System has to do with being able to shut off the engine if the ignition key has been tempered. I am no expert but I am sticking with thinking it's important =p

I thought about the police noticing me but in reality in L.A there arent that many roads to actually take so you can speed up to 100mph, unless your on the hwy/fwy. And I have to be carefull, cause that car does fly even when you aren't really trying. which by the way is the fun part.

That's cool but I wouldn't say that the GT just has a bunch of small stuff to offer.. Leather seats / rain sensing wipers / HID xenon headlamps / bose w/ 6 disc in dash cd changer/LED taillights oh and almost forgot the trip computer that displays MPG / Miles to empty/AVG MPG/Avg speed/ etc..I'm probably forgetten something but as you can see..For that 1,700 more you get a lot of nice stuff. However, either way sport or GT it's a bargin. As far as MODS I would suggest an upgraded rear motor mount first, then add on from there w / intake, etc..

Ok am sort of new to the upgrading the car thing, so help me out a little bit, what is or what does the rear motor mount do? And the intake I already bought, so that is off the list.

The rear motor mount helps in shifting and keeps the motor more stable.

Don't forget to mention the increase in vibration to the steering wheel (hehe).

But seriously will that be a problem with upgrading the rear mount on the MS3? When I upgraded the mounts on my 2000 Celica GTS (STS autocross car) the solid mounts turned my steering wheel into a HoMEDiCS hand massager.. The mounts did a great job of keeping the engine from twisting in place under hard acceleration. Thus relieving my car of the dreaded "wheel hop" when launched hard. Will upgrading the rear engine mount in the MS3 turn my steering wheel into a hand massager? But wheel hop doesn't seem to be an issue with the MS3 though....
