Couple videos of a Mazdaspeed3

TorchedStealth · #1 07-23-2008, 04:50 PM

So me, MZR, and a few friends were cruising last night when we met up with a few other people we know. One has a Celica gt-s and one has a Speed3. We asked the guy with the MS3 if he wanted to run and he said sure, so I dicided to race him since MZR's intercooler pump was dead (fixed today so now he's boost happy). His car is stock and you all can see what i have. First we went from a 30 (his choice...crappy spot in 2nd for me) and we let off at about 120-125. After that we went from a dig and i bogged big time but still managed to uh....well just watch the vids

opcorn:

Both times the camera man started on the 3rd honk for some reason. Each car had a passenger.

I waited two seconds after they took off to floor it. I raced a Celica GTS behind them, and that was so horrible I wont even bother posting about how a masacred it. By about 100 I had made up the gap on the speed3 completely. Celica was a good 25 cars back (he gave up)

nice kills, his launch is crazy. Dump it in 2nd

Good kill. He needs to hurry up and intake it to make it a close race, and a stealth back to win it, lol. Good races though, and good kill. The Speed3 wouldn't happen to want to buy a midpipe, would he?

MZR_47 · #6 07-24-2008, 12:53 PM

He probably would. He ordered his intake already, and im sure knows about the stealth back. We can ask him if we see him again

Nice kill but it was stock. I would like to see it again when the MS3 is running his deserved boost

Why not give him credit for it being a good kill regardless of what was done to the Speed3? Not everyone has a daddy who will buy us a slow car and mods for said slow car. Deserved boost? Uh, with an intake he's still gonna be running the same boost. And when mine was stock, I didn't have much of a problem with running alot of modded cars. The RL was faster, end of story. It will be close, maybe the edge going to the Speed with an intake.

Oh I will run him again when he gets his intake...but he won't know that last Thursday night me and a few buddies were up until 3 a.m. putting on my vibrant header and downpipie..muwahahaha lol

UnderEstimate Me · #11 07-28-2008, 11:50 PM

What type of dyno juice you get out there...that could be a hell of a close race.

Wooo battle of the 14 second cars! lol jk.

Good race! I raced my friend's Stage 3 Cobalt a few weeks ago, but didn't get it on video..

The next track event is on the 17th but I don't think I can make it to that one because the track is 3 hours away.

Cassies, I should be putting down 250-260whp with my mods now...not sure because the only dyno here is really messed up and I would probably put down ~300-325 on it so I'm not even gonna waste my money for basically random numbers lol

Vip, c'mon now...I should be a solid mid-high 13 second car at ~104mph give or take lol.

I'm supposed to rave my buddy's ls1 maro soon. He has intake (we custom made it...it is rediculous, but it works!) and cat-back. My friend with just stage 2 with the 3.1 inch pulley was at his back bumper at about 105 from a 40 and I have a 2.9 with full exhaust so we will see how that goes.

How much torque? On Steve Kan's Mustang dyno, which is a heart breaker by Mustang Dyno standards (reads about 3-4% lower than the other already reading low Mustang Dynos), I put down 225 at the wheels with just an intake and a gash in my intercooler. I also had massive heat soak (inside a garage in lovely Texas 105 degree humid ass weather, no fan, no ice for the IC).

I think that you will win, but I personally think its gonna be a damned good race.
