Im sure if I run the s*** out of the car conisdering I have the rear engine mount...I can hit 12's...thinking about doing some strut and tortion bars...
What cars can the MS3 run with?
- Thread starter SpeedWorld
- Start date
This thread is ridiculous... MS6Mike clearly has insecurity issues. "my car is better/faster than yours... fwd sucks... etc." I mean.. wtf is that? Especially when his voice really wasn't needed in this conversation to begin with. The guy who started the thread wanted to know what cars the MS3 could hang with. Based on the numbers alone, obviously the stock versions of the respective cars are going to be comparable in most of the key performance tests. (The MS3 has a significant advantage in the slalom and skidpad however) But that wasn't the question... everyone already knew that.
Here's the bottomline Mike... your car, while nice and all, is in a different category all together. It's not better... or worse... just different. Having driven both, it's clear that the MS6 looks (imo) a lot better than the MS3 (even with its' even fuglier wheels). Inside, it's the exact opposite. The MS6's interior is crap compared to the MS3. Hard plastic abounds... the seats are about as supportive as a buick century bench seat and the clutch... omg... don't even get me started. worst clutch ever!! This awd system you're so proud of... it's average at best dude. Before saying fwd sucks... maybe you should realize that your car is fwd most of the time.
Since you clearly took advantage of the crazy rebates they were offering... you obviously got yourself a deal. To my knowledge, those rebates don't exist so don't act like you can still get a new 06 for a couple grand more than a MS3 GT. In the real world... your car costs about $6k more than an MS3 and we all know what that kind of money can add in terms of performance.
Anyway... sorry to vent but homez just pissed me off with his "my car is better than yours" BS. This is a freakin mazda community. I'm cool with you bashing other brands but come on! Mazda's a pretty selective, tight-nit group... no need to bash eachother. MS3 FTW haha

Damn i haven't read this thread but yea mike has some issues (other threads). He's just mad that the almighty AWD is still slower than the quicker FWD. 
Just to add my .02 to this thread... I beat an Infiniti G35 from a roll on the highway the other night. I was in 3rd gear at 50mph. He lurched forward and I got on it in 3rd, shifted to 4th and it was all over. I pulled away from him hard. Didn't get to see the expression on his face throught his tinted windows... which would of been priceless!

I havent really seen any MS3's around here so I can't really say what I do like or what I do not like about them, but I CAN say that I love Volkswagens and I wish I woulda bought a GTI instead of my MSP... I feel they are better looking and have better interiors then the MSP, and of course, with only a chip, exhaust and an intake you're looking at around 200whp+ on a 2.0T and it wont blow up, plus you still have your leather interior, etc...but like I said, I haven't seen an MS3 for myself yet..

I won't say it's the only advantage. Slightly lighter and a better trans are some other things to consider. Last test i seen put it a 10th above the wrx...on the street thats hardly measurable.
And the platform is fine, since the bug-eye wrx alot of improvements have been handed down. The chassis is alot stiffer. I would say that both interiors are good, i like the wrx gauge cluster locations better.

Yeah i'm still Stock. A previous kill was an 07 Acura TL. He was in front of me at a light and knew i was behind him. Light turned green and he immediately tried to get away from me. I stayed on his ass and when it was clear i literally walked away from him in the right lane. His had a big cheesy grin of surprise as i passed him.
