pontiacfreak142 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Raced a guy with a 2010 speed 3 the other night, quick little car, but of course he just kept saying it was stock. He did pop the hood, i saw a "cold" air intake, i know it was at least missing some of the exaust, and his buddy gave up that it has a tune. Any idea what one of these would make with at least those mods? Looks like they make 263/280 stock and only weigh 3200 ish pounds. From what im seeing, they pick up a good bit just from bolt ons and tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbospec29 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Did your GTO lose to a mazda 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yes and no lol Did a dig and 2 rolls. destroyed him from the dig, first roll he got me by about 3 cause my failmatic took forever to down shift, and second roll i was at his rear bumper and slowly starting to come back when he let off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 From what I recall when I was looking at them, a tune and CIA does a lot for these cars. Add an exhaust and I think you're a little north of 300whp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 2/3 law dictates that as a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0n8 Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 If it's a test pipe w/ a CIA & tune (probably an upgraded inter cooler too, esp. if you didn't see sitting on top of the engine) it would be close to 300 hp/tq at the wheels. Usually a higher torque # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 2/3 law dictates that as a loss. You shush lol. Im not sure on the intercooler, didnt think to look.

Cordell Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Lame, Pontiacfreak should be better. At least your GTO won't eat it's connecting rods at 350 wheel. Sounds like that guy has done about all that is safe for a stockish MS3. Like others have said around 300 wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiacfreak142 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I can live with that loss then considering it sounds like were pretty even power wise and hes over 600 pounds lighter lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Waiting for Tim (pdqs4) to opine in a SWOT analysis of the Mazdaspeed 3... Mine simply had a CAI and a mild tune. Put down 270/290. Rain pretty rich but the tune is solid and hasn't blown up an MS3 so I was good with that. The tune also removed the boost limiter in gears 1-3 and allowed the car to build boost to 6500rpm vs 5500. From a roll she was a lot of fun but FWD did suck as launching it was a bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
