Not that I like 4dr cars, but I hate hatch's even worse. If they made the MS3 in the sedan version, I'd actually consider one.

MS3 > S2 if they can drive it, it'll be closer on the 1/4 but a roll goes to the MS3.

You get a guy redlining every gear and wheezing out his turbo and the S2 has a decent shot. I dig-raced an MS3 once, won the first time, then I told him to shift at 6k instead of redline... we ran again, and I lost

I've raced this guy I see a lot. He has a Speed6. (difference being MS3 is about 400 lbs less and 7 crank hp less)

I had a stock SS/TC and would very easily walk away in the upper end.

Even a S2 SS S/C should be able to take a 'speed 6. They're weaker in comparison to their 'speed 3 cousins.

Had they gone with a turbo v6 instead of the turbo 4, now THAT would have been fast.

Performance and price speaking hell yes... SS/TC > MS3
Theres a REASON the motor goes POP and needs a complete rebuild, along with turbo swap to make anything CLOSE to 400 whp. Theyre crappy
