Try going to CamaroZ28.com or some of the other GM related forums and start putting down their cars and see what happens.

Even in their topics that are supposed to be about the car industry in general they don't tolerate much dissent. :rofl2:

So you're telling me if I come over and troll the Mazda message board with posts about how the Z is superior everybody will be calm, welcoming, and engaging...? :gtfo2:

Mazdas are fine cars, and if I wanted to have the steering wheel jerked in my hands every day I would own one.

And for the RX8 if it had an engine that didn't get piss poor mileage and burn oil like a furnace I'd own of those too.

I think a better comparison for the mazdaspeed3 would be with other 4 cyl turbo cars in which it would get blown away. I know the Audi TTS is a 2.0T 4 cyl FWD K04 turbo that does 0 to 60 in 4.9 secs compared to 5.5 for the mazda which has a 2.5 liter 4 cyl turbo. So it doesnt even beat its own type of cars.

^i agree..a better comparision would be a 4cly forced induction fwd car..perhaps a neon srt4?

besides we all know chipping a turbo car will net you tons more power than a NA car so its not a good comparo. Put even a single turbo on the Z and away she goes.

Good idea there. But you should have checked your facts first.

The 2009 TTS does 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. And that's with the help of AWD (not FWD). All of the Audi S line cars are AWD. It also weighs 200 lbs more than the Mazdaspeed3, and has 22 less ft-lbs of torque. The Mazdaspeed3 is 200 lbs lighter, has more power, still clocks 0-60 faster despite being FWD, and blows the TTS away beyond 60 mph. Not to mention the fact that the Audi costs around $48,000 while the Mazda costs $25,000.

This comes from Car and Driver and Autoweek.

Your right about the AWD, but wrong about the times and $$$$ wasnt part of my comparo. With that extra $$$ you get a SH!T load of extras with the Audi that mazda doesnt even think about. And I doubt the mazda will be faster beyond 60 with only .5 liters more. Also only $46K for the TTS but still more than I could afford.
