a buddy of mine had some bolt on's and a tune and he ran a 13.5 i think in his ms3 ... He said he got zero traction too.. i forget his 60 foot but it was not good at all..
they are capable of being quick... stock for stock though he really doesnt have a chance.. He may have a tune if he is confident.. or raised boost or something... but you should be okay.. |

I think the MS3 should be compared to cars like it, ie 4 cyl turbos. I dont look at the MS3 as even being in our classification as we are a 6 cyl 2 door sports car. Speed wise its close but we all know that a turbo car will get way more gains from its chip than a NA so I just dont see why compare it to NAs when there are loads of 4 cyl turbos out there to compare it to.

You should find out if he is chipped. If so he gained around 50 hp and 60 TQ maybe more if he did a high flow down pipe too. Still chipped should be about even.
I used to run against a GTO 6.0 in my 2.0T TT (chipped and full TBE) and he would pull about a car length ahead of me, but when he shifted my DSG 7 AT would gain back 1/2 that length. He would pull a little shift, lose alittle. I could tell by his face he didnt like my 4 cyl keeping up with his big V8. So your AT should give you an advantage like stated earlier. I feel 2nd and 3rd gear are my strongest pulls, comparable to the turbo pull I had in my 2.0T. Z FTW. |
about two weeks ago, a few friends and I went to a local air strip that they usually use for drift competitions, its been abandoned for years and can be rented for special events. The strip itself is about a mile long, so its great to use for rolling 1/4miles, dig 1/4 miles etc. Some guy in a 08' STI a blue one to be exact, wanted to try a roll from 40 just to see where he stacked up, a third car drove along us with an air horn, from 40 to 120, I pulled 3-4 cars before we shut it down. No chance in hell he'd ever win from a roll in a ms3, and zero chance in hell, being that you have an auto and cant screw a shift up, will he win in a 1/4 mile, ZERO.
And just to add, he was quite upset and disappointed with his car, and made a comment about how he should have blown the money he paid for that on a SP/Touring Z. :) |
