whats faster?????

[mute68]

i have a friend that told me he beat a protege mazda speed with his 2.3L mazda 3.. is it true that the 3 is faster????

stock for stock i guess it would depend on driver

 

[solid_snake]

the 2.3L 3 has a 160hp engine, the MSP has 170hp i believe, the MSP weights the same as a mazda3 5 door MT, and a little more than the sedan, but i think the driver is the most important factor in this case



EDIT: this is my 200th post (nana)

Both aren't that fast stock. They have good daily driver power though. I would have thought the MSP is faster with equal drivers.

yeah but all the msp has to do is turn up that boost just as little as 2 psi (wont hurt if only that much) and bam! instant "Bye bye mazda3". all the while looking sexy as every msp does.

i have driven both a lot, stock for stock. a mazdaspeed protege would easily tackle a mazda3, stock for stock.

You might be the only FSDET around here. (guitar) Never noticed you before. How hard was the swap? (not that I'm thinking of.... I've already owned an FS-DE once in my life.... it was sweet but I'm not planning to engine swap with this car ever.... knock on wood)

they're both slower then they should be

My money is on the MSP for being a faster car (yes)
