So as you can see below, a stock MS3 is basically a 14.5 sec. car. No 13.XX time slips to be found here anywhere ....

I mean, my own box stock SS/SC has run a 14.87 - and I've only been down the drag strip just a couple of times!

And seeing how I paid thousands LESS for my SS/SC than a MS3 would have cost me ... everyone would have to agree that:

SS/SC = Tremendous Value/Performance

(P.S. I don't hate on MS3's, but the TRUTH is the TRUTH)

No offense but those first two timeslips have horrible 60fts, so no the MS3 is not a 14.5 sec car. It's a 14.5 sec car with a shitty driver, the car is capable of a 13.9 stock, just like the SS S/C is capable of very low 14's stock you just have to be able to drive it.

The truth also is you're a SS S/C fanboy and you overlook the fact that you're comparing two cars that are not in the same market.

that's like taking one of our many supercharged 15 second time slips and saying hte cobalt is a 15 second car, and you have proof. it means nothing.

a much loved ms3 member here will soon be hitting 12's and probably even 11's for not a whole lot of money.

also, where are those slips from? how was the track prep, eleavation, etc.

laloosh

lol thats funny i went 14.2 @ 101 stock You want youtube vids of bone stock ms3 going 13.9 at 101? How bout one going 13.7 @ 100? The only thing the 13.7 guy changed was he went from 18s to 16s.

My next trip to the track will be 12s on street tires.

Mazdaspeed 3 are 14.5 second cars if you cant drive. Put that driver in a cobalt and hell be running low 15s.

randizzle

can I ask why these cars even get discussed in these forums? this is a cobalt forum, why is there any detailed discussion of a mazda. I could maybe see a different chevy or gm product but we're dealing with mazda/ford here. talk about these cars in their own forums.

xonic

Because the OP fanboy is spreading misinformation.

Dammit, Laloosh every site I go to I see you posting lol.

tlax23

Agreed.

memphisr24

i bet u one with just a tune would hit mid 13's (boost limit in every gear (exxageration)) but do think it would hit mid 13's no problem wiht justr a tune and no boost limits

xonic

boost limits only hold the car back if it'll actually get traction. Removing the boost limit in 1'st would probably cause many people to get worse 60's.

I don't know if that's true, I run 20psi in every gear on a .50trim in the neon and wa sstill able to 60ft 2.17's on stock 205 tires, it's all in the right foot.

fbaero10

2007 Mazdaspeed 3 5.4 14.0 (C&D May '07)

so im sure with like a little weight reduction it would be easy to get into the 13s.. sorry bud but ur a bad driver

laloosh

guy went 12.7 @ 107 on slicks only power mods were a mbc set to 18psi modded air stock airbox and a 2nd cat delete

DoubleLP

MS3 is a great car......and it has been proven over and over again that it gets better 1/4 mile times stock then the SS S/C.

Notice that firemanfrank posts once and then disappears?? Ownings are funny!!! LOL

xonic

Driver Mod, and from what I've noticed the 50 is easier to launch cause you don't have ptob.

D4u2s0t

guaranteed laloosh is in the 11's in the next few months and spent the same amount of money or less than it takes a cobalt to get into the low 13's.

on a side note, he just put on a tbe and that thing sounds sick as hell. i wish the exhausts on our car sounded like that.
