one of my buddies has one of those mazdaspeed protege's with not much done to it but an intake and boost controller. He talks so much garbage about how fast his car is. How fast are these things actually? i know they are somewhat quick, but does anyone know how would it fair against me? (2k auto)

 

i think you would take him to school!

 

Mazdaslowspeed Protege?

Acceleration (0-60 mph): 7.92 sec. per Edmunds.com

I say you kill him, especially if manually shifting.

 

Mazda what ?.....LOL ...

 

Surely you joke

 

if he put a good turbo set up on it...bye bye maxima

 

you keed you keed

 

If it's been minimally modded it has a minimal chance.

 

It's just got a little itty bitty turbo on it stock....

 

they run low 14's at the track

 

mazdaspeed 0-60 in 6.9

i was read it somewhere on the internet...

 

Stock the MS Protege gets mid 15's 1/4, so it really depends what this guy has done to it.

 

i dunno...he's got boost control/ intake ......and a
back in Aug same car, same mods + exhaust ran consistent 14.2-14.4's @ a local track near me....

2k auto's arent the quickest of sleds....

 

With an intake and boost controller, I would think it would be a close race. What are your mods? If stock, there's a chance you will lose.

 

I think that you could take him

 

"i keed, i keed" ...for some reason that's exactly what i thought of when i read what that guy above wrote "surely you joke"

weird....

 

i have an intake, thats it, not to mention i have 18's to weigh me down.

 

lol, yes, the mazda is soo great.......


for me to poop on

 

Agreed.

Though the MP3 Turbo (aka Mazdaspeed Protege) is minimally tuned from the factory, I think a good driver could take down a 2k/2k1 auto Max.

However, while the upgraded intake and boost controller normally workout very well, I recall reading that the MS Protege is pretty much @ the threshold of max boost w/o detonation. Any more boost and it may be "problematic".

just my $.02

 

yeah, that is true. I dont think hes running much more boost, considering the turbo in that car is soo small. Have you ever even heard the BOV? it sounds funny imo.
