It's especially funny when you know that Mazda delivered the car for testing with the tires shaved to 2/32nds.

Is that good or bad?

 

[CommieSpeed]

Hahaha...I carried that mag around with me for like the first couple of weeks I had my MSP...I must have read that short-ass article like 5000000 times!

 

[jflo]

shaving them down will give the car better traction/grip...it's pretty much cheating...but whatever, still pwns a mini cooper s

So used tires have more grip than new ones? Also what would make a MSP do almost a 1 g on skidpad?

This car impresses me more and more each day. It is an absolute BEAST on twisty roads. Who else is amazed at their car? The things you can do are sick and to approach the limits is scary..cuz the limits are so very high.

There's a nice new road on my drive to work that has a lovely S curve in it. The speed limit posted for this curve is 50kms (30mph?) I've been practicing hitting it faster and faster till one day I felt the tires break loose, no loss of control, I just felt wheel spin from the front. I looked at the speedo and I was at 122kms. I held with a brand new M3 going into and through the S. He dissapeared once we came to the straight away afterwards though. Now that's a fast car!

That's hillarious!! I did the same thing...

The guy who wrote this article makes it seem like it's so easy to put in a FMIC and turbo back exhaust. I don't know about you guys but droppin 3 grand into the car isn't the easiest thing to do! Not to mention, with a setup like that, it's in a completely different class of vehicle.

But yeah... handling rocks! Only problem is... you gotta have the right types of roads otherwise it's pointless! I can find a straight road to jam the gas on anywhere but twisties... not that easy.
