Mazda vs T/A

[tigersport14]

my friend says his 2005 2.3L Mazda 3 hatchback, turbo, suspension kit, and exhaust, is faster than a 98 stock T/A, i dont think it is....

You don't think he can beat you? Good, he can't unless he is running MAJOR boost

[TheKitchenSink]

Id say tell him to put his money where his mouth is.

[LS1Power06]

how many psi is his turbo spooling to?

[tonyjnjz]

tell him if u beat him he has to throw out his fast and the furious dvd's lol

I am with tonyjnjz: cheers:

He WILL NOT beat you. If hes got that mazdaspeed factory turbo, he has no chance. Even with higher than stock boost. I predict you will put at least 3-4 lenghts on him from 0-100. If hes got an aftermarket big turbo then it might be a whole different story.

Race him and wreck him, import guys think that any 4 cylinder with a turbo is automatically super fast :rolleyes:

[ss~zoso~ss]

third gear roll, like 65mph to 130

not too many cars can hang with us then

[tigersport14]

i didnt think he could

[tigersport14]

hes running 12 psi right now but he said hes gonna be running 16 soon

[EVO8 driver]

Is it stock turbo or not?? Thats all that matters.

[tigersport14]

no its not stock turbo

[blue02Z]

i think its an '07 mazdaspeed 3 is pretty damn quick for being a 4 banger hatchback, but a mazda 3 wont beat you. it would take lots of boost and spray at the least.

[tigersport14]

its an 06 mazda 3, 5 speed, suspension kit, some kind of exhaust, he wont tell me....he said after he beats me he'll tell me, and hes runing 12 psi, in like 1 month he'll be running 16

Come on guys, do you think that Mazda is really running low 13s E.T.s? Capitalize on your torque curve. Four bangers may have peak power, but there torque curves are their achilles heel. Just make sure you practice you luanches.
