Mazdaspeed 3?

slo98gt · Feb 24, 2008

So on my way home i ran into a 07 mazdaspeed 3 and to make a long story short we ran from about 20ish to 80 and i couldnt pull more then a half a car away from him..he said he had an intake and exhaust..i got a stock motor with no mods on my 98 gt except 3.73s..i must say i was impressed with that lil wagon..and it has more hp then me..for a few more weeks anyways til i get my full pi swap done:-D

I like them alot, the 5 series Minivan should be the official minivan of fathers forced to sell their cars for one. Aren't they Turbo 6 cylinders with like 280hp? (too lazy to look up)

im not supprised. back when my GT was stock i had a newer maxima hang with me. got maybe half a car on him. now all the mods ive done i own him when he tries. its not even close now

I think there around 270 or so but for a 4 cylinder i was quite impressed but yet my car isnt much in terms of speed so i dunno

Those things are decently quick. They give stock SRT4s a run
