Speed3 Vs New Wrx, Legacy Gt B4 & Bmw 130i At Tsukuba!

[arctic_blue83]

I can't translate as it's in Japanese, but they appear to be running the new WRX wagon (2 of them) vs the Subaru Legacy GT B4, the BMW 130i and the Mazdaspeed 3, check it out:

^^^Cool short video, even though they made the Speed3 start out in last place, at the end you see the Speed3 actually ran the fastest lap time by a decent margin at that. You can see them pitching it around corners just how well it rotates for a FWD car. Enjoy!

Also, here's another comparison video of the Speed3 vs new WRX, where the Speed3 wins again in a comparo, pretty much hands down:

Yeah, the MS3 looked like it was held up by traffic for that first lap.

And for any of you Speed3 guys that get too cocky, here's another one:

^^^Moral of that story don't race SRT-4's lol. Seriously, SRT-4's are damn quick from a roll.

[MazdaTom]

Yeah, but it's still a Neon.

That's correct... a Neon with serious balls lol. I quoted this from Wikipedia for anyone who isn't familiar with the SRT-4:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srt-4

"Although most SRT-4s were rated at 230 hp, it was revealed that Dodge underrated the car's power production. Dodge intentionally tested the SRT-4 prototypes on the dyno with a fairly hot intercooler, which negatively affected performance. Most production SRT-4s in fact rate right around 230-235whp stock, with crank horsepower estimated at 265-275 hp."

265-275 horsepower in a FWD that only weighs around 2800 lbs... talk about a damn good power/weight ratio.

That's about how I feel lol.... unless it's from a stop, then I might be inclined to run a modded one anyway lol.

[SpeedRacer]

haha yeah... From a stop I think I could take a medium - semi heavy modded SRT 4 for a little bit atleast... Let'm spin while I shoot out! lol... I wish.
