777, it is nice to have helping friends, thanks. Its the feature article on a competition event called Ultimate Streer Car Challenge by Sport Compact Car in the November issue and a built Mazda3 is involved. The engine team is one of the best drag engine builders stretching out a bit. With TRIPOINT turbo system in place. One of our great sponsors and Mazda afficianados. The article is a series so stay tuned!

Who's car is it?

I seen that it has the MS3 6 speed too...

 

[tsunami]

it does not have the ms3 6 speed. And i believe that is the tripoint car that they did all the testing on. It belongs to one of the reps that frequents this board.

Oops... That is Nicole's car in that article.

There is another MZ3 in the shootout competition this month with Tri-Point's turbo kit and the MS3 6 speed...

I thought that it was the shootout article mentioned in the OP.

I tried to find the shootout on their web page but had no luck.

That's the article. There are four pages there. Last page has the comparison between the three.

BTW, as much as I think the MS3 guys need a little humility, I'm not sure about the results of this test. They say from the beginning that the MS3 was basically beat to snot and running on cords, so the fact that the tripoint car is faster, might not be an actuality on a better maintained car.

Not knocking the tripoint car by any means, just saying...
