we got the car up to 155 this past week when an sti started to mess with us and we kept up with him (keep in mind that the regular 3's are limited to 118 mph, but we removed it....mazda speeds are limited much higher, but they have a turbo)
but my fiance takes this up to nelson ledges and has no problems keeping up with the sti's in the corners because our car handles so well, which is really what we like about it...we aren't concerned about having the fastest car....we would've bought something else if that was the point, but we needed a car that could haul kids and groceries, but still could be a fun weekend toy
i'm not saying this car is "fast"...i personally think 155 is fast...that's the fastest i've ever gone (i drive like a grandma), but we were tickled that the car kept up with the sti....we weren't trying to win or anything, just have some fun and see what the car could do
