well all i know is that most people are able to pull the same numbers out of them

here read this car and driver comparison .. the tc ran a 1/4 in 15.7 where as the mazda 3 ran a 15.8... thats pretty close if you ask me

those magazine results are about as acurate as a home pregnacy test.

the only mazda that will beat a tc is the new mazdaspeed 3 hatch, makes 260 hp but it's blown to sh*t, probably 12 lbs of boost? but even a factory supercharged Tc would keep up, and I think the Tc is a more attractive car. and it's $6000.00 less. That's a lot.
The one thing that gets me going is the mazdaspeed 3 has a special torque limiting feature that limits torque steer and wheel spin in first and second gear by retarding the timing. brilliant, because you're not going to hook up 250+ lbs of torque in a front wheel drive car. would be a nice feature on the Tc.

the easiest mod you can do is find where he lives, buy a bag of concrete and fill his tires up. cheap, effective. Go race on the streets if you want to, live life while you can i say, just don't do it in my "turf".

yep, track x 182736182736......who cares who can go fast in a straight line.....what is truly fun is when you can take turn at quick speeds, and feel your car, etc....and on the track, if you mess up, you just slide out on the dirt/pavement....in real life if you mess up = deaths/injuries/jail time!!!

has the fact that the Mazda could have been a 2.0L w/ an auto tranny crossed your mind?
