DSPORT top FWD for you genpu mofos

Saw this article in my Dsport buyer's guide mag.

Top Choice FWD 2012 - MAZDASPEED3: Threepeat for the SPEED3 — | DSPORT Magazine #108

Didn't read the online version.

But yeah basically still king, they're gonna see if they can make up the difference in price and performance with a modded Scion Tc.

Also turbochaged veloster has been spotted lately, with about +/- 200hp+tq.
I'm rooting for the korean manufacturers as they've been getting their shit together lately unlike the other big brands. Supposedly lighter than a mini.

Love that we're the best FWD, but also at same time don't like being overexposed, we'll start attracting a honda si -esque crowd.

Now that they know their performance-cost ratio goes to shit (more like absolutely fucking ridiculous take my money and burn it) when compared to us.

Wait... do you mean the guys that black out their headlights and taillights and modify their emblems to look cool? Because we have guys like that already.

DAMN you're right, being in the relative civility of this forum has sheltered my innocent eyes... :(

i had no plans on modding my car till i read DSport issue #94 that showed the mod capabilities of this car.

damn them.

We tested the MAZDASPEED3 on MD Automotive’s Dynojet 248Cdynamometer to validate these claims. Our dynamometer testingindicated 244.36 horsepower and 270 lb-ft torque (at the wheels) whichcalculates to 287.5 flywheel horsepower and 317.65 lb-ft torque. The testplatform actually produced 24.5 horsepower and 37.65 lb-ft torque morethan Mazda’s specifications, indicating that the MAZDASPEED3 more than delivers the goods.

Interesting.... I've seen stock dyno's of our car at 215whp. I wonder what is causing the difference and where they got that percentage to convert their wheel horsepower to flywheel...

4WD dynos are more accurate right?

every dyno is different, from mustang to dynojet to dynapac.

That in car pic isn't a '12. Someone is either lazy or ignorant, or both. Ass.

PS, upon closer inspection, they all look like they came from a '10. FAIL.

<---- came from a Honda Si

big whoop wanna fight about it? lol

I wish. I haven't had a single challange here in beaver state yet...

The best I have is cock-blocking SUV's trying to cut me off on the freeway from the right lane.

Validates my 2012 purchase!

Question is does anyone have a digital copy of issue #94 where they build up a MS3?

Can't seem to find it on their site.

^^I'd be interested to read that too.

Hands down if i had to do it again i would get a s2k and pray it wasn't abused. But if i had a family this is the right choice no doubt.

Had a S2k, great car, but all I miss is the RWD.

Just bought that issue out of curiousty

I believe you, it doesen't even have any scandily clad chicks in it ^^^
