How much has been spent (Lots)

Beating a 350 HP Porchse , 2 BMW 3 series , a camaro and a vette, Turbo eclipses, a dodge neon turbo, 240's and various other cars with twice the HP in a Protege 5 at the local Auto X Event

PRICELESS!!

 

Woo! That's more like it.

 

Once again the Protege battle cry becomes a proven fact:
Who needs horsepower when you don't have to brake for corners...

 

not that i dont like my p5 or anything but hav u guys thought that its the driver and not the car that matters?
yes, any1 can win on straights as long as they hav the power but cornering and braking takes skill.
well done tho.
but for u people who post, think about who the driver is instead of wut the car is since most likely its not the car taht is makin the person win

 

i know 1 thing, if the person who owned the 3 series or porsche knew how to drive it fast, they wouldnt lose to a p5, especially since they should hav better suspension and brakes.

 

not always if they wanted it to be a fast car then they would pay attention to the engine and not suspension the porshe is just to over powered for auto x since by the time he reaches the next turn hes hit 75 mph and has to brake really fast

 

Way to take the fun out of it cellerator!!!!! Of course it was the driver that counts. You get the award for stating the most obvious, CONGRATS! But did you stop and think for a moment that it wasn't the driver of a porsche, or the BMW, that won that race, but instead it was a driver who purchased a Mazda Protege 5. Like most of us posting on this forum, he viewed the Pro5 for what it is, a sharp, fun to drive car that has the potential to out race a 350 hp porsche or any of the other ones that he beat.

'nuff said.

 

Wow, I'm not discrediting the driver.
But we are posting on a Protege forum, right?
It's just nice to know I've spent my money wisely--it's exactly the kind of car I was looking for.

 

dont get so spazmatic man. im just stating that the car is fun and perky and that the driver is good so just **** off.

 

excellent! p5 is the best (and the driver of course)
