To clear up what seem to be abundant misconceptions about my reasons for posting on this forum, I will say this: I didn't come here to disparage the Z, despite what many of you seem to think. I...

An engine should sing sweetly near its redline, it should feel like it wants to be there. The NVH factor has been the biggest complaint of the all the major auto journalists. I'd say it's probably...

I wasn't the op on this post. The op didn't actually buy a Mazda, he bought something else, I think it was the Porsche Cayman if i remember correctly. I've driven a Cayman S, wonderful car. About...

Nothing wrong with disagreeing.

My point in comparing the Z to the TT-S was to show that the Audi's performance specs are inflated b/c of its huge traction advantage. The Z is a much faster car...

370Z
0-60 4.7
1/4 13.3 at 105 mph

So are you telling me that the Audi TT-S is as fast as the 370Z then despite having a 70 hp disadvantage and the same weight? AWD cars are always going to be...

Audi TT-S Drag coefficient: .31
Mazdaspeed3 Drag coefficient: .32
Suspension, though not much of a factor, is already a variable in dyno testing. The Speed3 puts down more power than a stock...

I'm certainly not one to critique an honest opinion. But is there a lack of knowledge of basic physics here, or what is going on? Please explain to me how a car that is heavier and is putting less...

For twice the price I would certainly hope it came with a bunch of extras!!

I was referring to the 2009 TTS earlier when I said 0-60 in 5.6s. I was comparing the 2009 Audi to the 2009 Mazda. The...

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...

I wonder what a roll race would look like between a Mazdaspeed3 with an intake/midpipe (311 hp, 317 torque at engine) and a 370Z with intake/exhaust (don't know numbers for this one)....?

In case...

Bird droppings can actually eat through your clear coat given enough time. They won't go all the way through but it'll leave a mark that won't come out. I had this happen an Eclipse I used to own.

Cayman isn't rear engined. It's mid engine. Perfect balance.
