I'm just hoping the Mazda Speed 3 doesnt fall short on this one.

looks horrible...IMO.. I'm NOT a fan of 6-spd trannys in low output engines...it means you've got 2 shifts to get to 60mph instead of 1..

also, the MS3 has been estimated to be 240hp with LSD...I think it'll do just fine against the 06 Si.

I kinda like it. But it does go with the normal look of other cars. Thats the thing I like about the 3, when you see it you know what it is.

240 would be nice, I would might get one. No I think a house is next for me, I have to keep telling myself that so I don't forget!

yeah, I'm debating on wether to buy a nice new $45K Infinity GT-r or a few smaller project cars.. I want a Mazda 2 or 5....and possibly a used RX8 base to put that Greddy turbo kit on.

I would probably go with the project cars. I mean if you get one expensive car you'll just end up spending more money on a project car anyways. YOU my friend are a mod-a-holic! There is no cure for this! So save your self some money.

Sucks when the cars are coming stock w/ 18s on them...you have to do 20s just to look oversize...and that means $$ when it comes to tires.

Uh huh. I can barely get my 18s to turn...it's like putting dead bodies on all 4 corners of the vehicle!

Just for show!!!!

Haha i know i was just screwing with you Mac

I like the body style, even though I prefer the old hatchback i think it's the Eg chassis?
The hood is pretty dumb and the wing is just stupid. But the body itself looks pretty nice, kinda like a stealth RSX. it would look great in black.

just my $.02
