How come you got rid of it?

Colin1337 07-15-2012 11:46 PM

I was tired of FWD, and I could tell the transmission was on its last leg.
The speed 6 reminds me a lot of my SRT, just more "refined" I guess, and more comfortable. Plus its WAY more low profile, which I love haha. The looks on peoples faces when you start pulling away from them, priceless.

Oh, what's your fastest lap, and at which circuit?

I'm surprised no one has posted dicks in this thread yet.

Tokay444 07-16-2012 05:02 AM

Slap an NSFW tag up top and I'd be happy to.

Lol yea I've called them skittles for years as well. It's rather fitting if you look at it. The bright colors it comes in and the shape of a skittle. I remember when a buddy with a mazdaspeed Protege raced one, the skittle lost and at the light he asked my buddy what stage he was...

Yeah that's what happened to me third gear went after WOT shifting every day back in 09 and beginning of 2010. I just got it fixed a few months ago finally.

By track I mean quarter mile. I have a feeling you're being smart, but my car can handle too. Why don't you ask 1LAPSRT what his quickest lap is and what circuit lol. But yeah, so far a 12.0 @ 114

Dang what did you trap? I assume that's with the big turbo? Yeah I spin some on slicks too. Next time I'll have BBG looking for a high 1.6 or low 1.7

Tokay444 07-16-2012 10:01 AM

It's just funny that you say "I don't care about hp like you ms3 guys" yet you choose a type of racing that relies almost entirely on hp/tq. Kind of an ironic statement.

Darksun280 07-16-2012 10:21 AM

meh

tooslow10 07-16-2012 10:36 AM

@Orangemamba , i was trapping 116ish but in the mid 13's! no lie. my best 60' was a 2.5
i know for sure if i could actually hook up and go i could trap higher
and faster. that was my 2nd time out tho, 1st with no fuel cuts..
i was on some bfg drag radials, no burn outs. basically getting a feel for
the track and act clutch. next time i go, i am expecting way better numbers.
maybe not ur time, but def looking to trap 120. lol.

No... Actually it doesn't. I see how all these MS3 owners have their inflated dyno numbers but no track times and for the ones who do, they trap 113 or less from what I've seen only 1 MS3 has trapped 113 and it was a newer gray one. If you guys have all of this power, show everyone then. I don't care too much about dyno numbers because every dyno is different. Track times do the talking and I know each day and track is different but it's closer than what dyno numbers are. And no, it doesn't only rely on power lol it depends on the driver, too.

Tokay444 07-16-2012 11:50 AM

You only "seen"?
My work here is done.
Because moron.

Orangemamba 07-16-2012 11:51 AM

Next time out you definitely have 12's with it hooked up and probably around 120ish traps. Are you WOT shifting?

3Gee Tee 07-16-2012 11:51 AM

Lol you say every dyno is different (which I agree) but then you say you trust track times more??

ETs have more variables than dynos, starting with the driver themselves. You can't get an accurate time with a fast car and a shitty driver so why base it on someone's ET?

Tires/traction are another issue.

Trap speeds indicate power.. Which is why I brought up trap speeds.. I trapped 114 on a hot/humid night FWIW

3Gee Tee 07-16-2012 11:59 AM

Seeing what times MS3's run. Seeing if there are decent owners with a MS3. Giving advice. Proving points if needed. Finding you and racing you. You should trade cars with the Mrs. so you can go faster :P

Yeah. MS3 turbos are better than skittle turbos but still haven't seen one trap anywhere near the highest stock turbo skittle's trap... Idk man. I hope some people on here do run good times though, they deserve it. Others, not so much. It's all good I don't need to learn about all stock turbos. I would like to see comparisons I don't want to just look at the specs of a stock MS3 turbo.. I could care less and I'm not about to open numerous pages off of different forums to compare.

Colin1337 07-16-2012 12:45 PM

MS3 is also damn near 400lbs heavier then an srt, not including driver. Might partially explain the slower 1/4

Both run the same times at the track at the same trap speed lol.

But shit you gotta expect some shit talking from us you come into a mazdaspeed forum putting up vids of your srt-4 doing a better time then most of us on stock turbos.

I mean srt is a quick car but tranny is shit if you hit a tree doing 40 youll most likely have serious injuries and you gotta roll down your back windows. If i wanted a project fwd turbo car that i could buy for 4g then i would get a srt-4. BUT i like having a decently fast DD with the options the speed3 comes with... the srt-4 doesnt even come with cruise control!!!! lol. It was a fun car when i was young 18-19 years old. The Mrs had one 05 bone stock black and did a 14.0 @ 103. She ended up trading it in.

Ps-where are you located?

Yeah haha i posted this for a reason though. There are pro's and cons to every car. I don't mind not having cruise control, it keeps me alert. My trans would have been fine if I didn't wot shift every day. I learned my lesson though. A 14.0 @ 103 is really good for stock. Awesome trap! I'm in Clarksville, TN.

Yea the trap is good for stock. She hit 102 like 4-5x then the last one 103. But getting gearing in the srt-4 as well we need to shift 5x in the 1/4mile(or hold out 4th) while you shift into 4th around 100mph. The motor in the srt-4 is crazy realiable but everything else is so so. My close friend was basically stock with a couple mods and was having tranny issues and the Mrs was too before she got rid of it. I will say that the stock clutch is stupid easy to drive. I learned standard in a srt-4 haha

MS3-a(sore)ASS-rex 07-16-2012 01:31 PM

I like this SRT4 guy. Keep ignoring them man.

I'd kill for a 12.0@114 OFF the bottle. Because then I'd probably go low 11's in spray lol

Edit: especially with this cars gearing and weight

Darksun280 07-16-2012 01:31 PM

Dang I by understand how the transmission went out.. I mean I used to WOT shift every day because I thought it was fun and it still took awhile for it to go. Yeah our gearing is better than the MS3's and the Cobalt's gearing is really good. Yeah the stock clutch wasn't bad at all. Lol I learned on a Cavalier :/

Nope not looking for attention but was wanting certain people here to see it since he wanted to be cocky and I have a friend from Colorado springs on here.

Is there a back story I'm missing cause I don't remember any srt-4 beef or drama before. Only this honda owner and he got his race already.
