Who would win in stock form? and is there a 3 model that comes with LSD other than the Speed3?

i had a tC before my speed3 and i think its noticable quicker than a mazda3 2.3. no, mazda3's don't come with LSD other than the speed3. i'd say from a first gear roll, tC wins by more than a car...

Drivers race, unless they have the TRD dealer installed supercharger, then I'd watch out.

so pretty much it depends on the drivers, and its dead even if they both have auto(given the same reaction time)

i know they're pretty comparable, all i'm saying is that i felt like my car was faster than the mazda3's i test drove...

 

[controlo]

you think this is accurate?

0-60 sounds about right, though the 1/4 mile seems a little high IMO.

 

[controlo]

yeah, its way off to me. my friends rsx-s freakin' rips. the only mod he has now is a throttle body and he only loses to me by about 2.5 cars. he was in the 14's stock for sure. his is unnaturally fast for what it is though. i can't explain it, its just fast.

To help clear the confusion, are you comparing the MazdaSPEED 3 to a stock TC or the Mazda 3 n/a? The N/A 2.3 would make more sense.

 

[tsunami]

yeah its the n/a 2.3l

my auto p5 pulled on an auto tC, then again i think the tC had the accessory muffler and i have i/h/e.

the auto's lose a lot of horsepower. they're stock at like 120whp and the manuals dyno in at 140 for the '06 and down and 150whp for the 07's.
