the new evo's arent really quick. 300hp @ 3400lbs vs my 263hp @ 3100. they put so many restrictions on the evo x from the factory, they limit the boost by gear, boost is set to fall off well before redline....give me an evo 8 or 9 anyday over the new one.



the MS3 and evo X are both low 14 second cars but the speed 3 pulls harder on the highway.



The new Evo with 300 HP has a power to weight ratio of 11.33.



The Mazdaspeed 3 with 263 HP has a power to weight ratio of 11.78.



My Lotus has a "measly" 220 HP, BUT it has a power to weight ratio of 9.1!



2000 pounds FTW! :woot:

I keep looking at those pics, and it brings back great memories of my Velocity Red RX-8 with the flakes in that deep red paint.



I'm still a year or two from buying my next daily driver. If I were in the market today, this would be the car that I would buy. But I really should stop looking at your pics, or I might get the bug early.



This car made Car and Driver's 10 Best list (just got the new issue).
