mazdaspeed protege is nice. 17" rims stock, turbo charged and wishone suspension if i'm not wrong. pretty nice interior.. my friend owns one too. but it's in orange.. the soon to be launched mazdaspeed6 is gonna be hot too. yea... but like what supersprynt said... what about the mclaren?

as i said before it beat the mclaren in the solomn. stock... ya think about that... now my friend and i threw jic full coilover suspension on it and it frickin kicks azz. if you guys ever get a chance to test drive one uhmm definately go for it. uhmm let me see what else i know they run 5.9 psi of boost stock and i've seen em boosting 15 before on stock internals. the car was completly designed by racing beat. it has a stage 1 act clutch in it and basically they took the 2.0 motor and slapped a turbo on it.. literally. their known for blowing though cuz the internals suck but with 500 bucks you can purchase a new set of forged rods and no worries.

Thats the exact reason I didn't get this car. Working for Mazda and Nissan I was faced with the decision of the Mazdaspeed Protege or the Sentra SpecV. Protege was great and handled extremely well... but the engine was at its max. Couldn't due much more than stock.... whereas the SpecV wasn't even tapped. With the new QR25DE that replaced the classic SR20DE(T) engine, the 2.5L is just on its way to legendary status. Plus Nissan bound way way too much HP in the intake and exhaust. Hell I/E/H will free up about 25WHP. The mazdaspeed is no longer being made as well. Meaning parts will be far and few between in a couple years. The QR25 is now Nissan's new baby. Overall both cars were great, but I made my decision.

Oh yea I sell Dodge/Chrysler as well. Screw the Neon. Sure its 230 HP. But lets go through the numbers...
1. Can I hear Torque Steer

2. Maybe Dodge didn't think LSD was that big, because the stock LSD SUCKS - wheelspin city

3. Yes thats right, Interior by Rubbermaid.

4. Boy, most companies work hard on saving weight. Not Dodge, lets put dual 3"!!! exhaust on the car, figuring its massively huge V8... wait... its a 4-cyl.

5. Again, when most compaines plant a nice 6-spd in their cars (Sentra, Civic Si, SVT Focus) - Dodge with the most power will stick the the standard Neon 5-spd.

And I sell these things.......... (slaps forehead)
