- It made over 270WHP at it's peak (and only weighed 2800 lbs with me in it)
- Now that I ALSO have a 370z my Mazda is detuned to only 8-10psi and making a more conservative 225ish WHP.

However, if you'd like to see how your car does against my MSP I'd be happy to turn the boost back up to 13lbs and leave you behind on the highway. Trust me, I have both cars and the Mazda (when pushed) is definitely faster than my 370 was when stock.

And I'm not hating on the 135. Like I said it's a great performance/luxury blend. But in my personal opinion the styling of the Z is a night and day difference.
would love to have a friendly run with you man, where are you located?

Dallas. Anytime you come up let me know.

Like I said the MSP is detuned now so I'd need a few days to get to my tuner to upload the old maps onto the Unichip and mix up a batch of the old home-brew 105 octane blend. And she's 8 years old now with 120K hard miles on her so it's would be just a few short runs, but she'd probably like it if I brought her out of retirement for a little bit

And Push... I honestly meant no personal offence on the styling comment. I do drive an orange car every day, which seemed like a good idea 8 years ago when I was in my mid 20s, but doesn't really put me in a position to knock anyone else's styling preferences.

And I do love the motor in that thing. A girl I'm dating just picked up a used 335 and we've begun the modification process on that. You're right on the ease of power additions, no doubt about it. I spent probably $3K on my Mazda and picked up about 150whp. I've spent a little under $2K on my Z and picked up maybe 30whp. If only they were all so easy!
