Anyone read the latest issue of Motor Trend?
They get even better numbers than Car & Driver!!!
Check out this:
Original Mazda MP3 numbers:
0-60mph: 8.9 sec
1/4 mile: 16.8@82.3mph
braking 60-0: 132 feet (no abs)
slalom, MPH: 64.8
Mazdaspeed Protege numbers:
0-60mph: 6.5 sec
1/4 mile: 14.9@93.2mph
braking 60-0: 124 feet (no abs...a ABS model will be offered later apparently)
slalom, mph: 68.3
Damn!!! those are VERY impressive numbers. Maybe C&D happened to get a less powerful one or something from the assembly line (hey..some engines put out more power than others, its all luck).
Anyways, the original C&D results were:
0-60: 6.9 sec
1/4 mile: 15.4 @ ???
And SCC dynoe'd it at 151hp at teh wheels. Mazda could easily get away with advertising the car as 180-195 hp and still be on target. Look at the WRX! SCC dyno'ed it at 147 whp. Thats a HUGE loss in power compared to the advertised 227.
SO if anyone bitches about the "lack of power" stfu and read those numbers I just posted.....b/c your an obvious retard if you think this car is slow!!
