SpaceGhost Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Also so let me get this straight, you got the car up to 155 after 10 miles, then an STI caught you and you two stayed together? Shawn (Skinner), you have owned this car she is talking about, and rode in my car. Can your old car hang? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy chan Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 What is keeping up? Staying within a mile? LOL Bus lengths are not keeping up missy. i'd say we were about a car length away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 i'd say we were about a car length away SO if we were a 40 to 155 you would stay with in a car length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Frenchy, my next question is how do you know you have 155 hp? Feel free to multi quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy chan Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 Also so let me get this straight, you got the car up to 155 after 10 miles, then an STI caught you and you two stayed together? wtf are you talking about...we were driving normally and an sti came up and wanted to have fun so we had fun....we weren't trying to race the car and/or win...my fiance wanted to see how our car handled after we got the limiter removed and some other stuff messed with and we actually stayed pretty close to him but you don't know how many people were in his car, or if they knew how to really drive, etc...."racing" is a lot on the driver and not just the car....you may have a "fast" car, but suck at shifting or your car is packed down with 4 people and then you are getting caught by slower cars....totally depends on lots of things i'm not shit talking that our car is fast...or that it will beat your car....someone just asked why we like our mazda3's and so i answered it and now it has turned into a stupid debate about a 3 keeping up with an sti.... why can't we all just enjoy our cars for what they are....we all like our cars for different reasons and that's why we drive them and not other cars....why does it always have to be a shit talking-fest about how so and so's car will beat so and so's car...or that it will do this in a quarter mile....blah blah blah just go out and have fun with your car and be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchy chan Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 we get our car on the dyno this week...if you guys must know, i will post the dyno sheets when we get them our car does not have a turbo...so of course we aren't going to have crazy hp...but compared to other regular naturally aspirated 3's, we have a very quick one (i am only comparing it to other 3's, not other cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I hate this because someone says their 155 hp 3 can keep up with a car that has double the HP and then realizes it can't and that's their story and she's sticking to it. All would be well if you wouldn't tell tall tales, that's all. You are mad because I called bullshit and you got caught? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 i used to daily an 04 3 (sedan - NA).....it was "peppy" i guess....but it was a slow pig...i think an sti would pwn it driving in reverse....isnt there a member here who took his NA 3 to trails and ran a 16 something? it did handle pretty well, it was a little sloppy, but nothing a nice set of coil overs couldnt fix theyre not as "little" as people make them out to be...it was every bit as big as my mustang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
