MS3= MazdaSpeed3.

 

^^^^ let me add to this that i'm glad you didn't include the RX-8's. Mazda should be TOTALLY embarrassed by the performance numbers it puts out and the lack of aftermarket parts for it. The rotary engine was an awesome idea, but I think it's time to put it to bed... why not just come out with an all new twin turbo 6 that would really put it in the running with the other top sports cars out there. It's pretty bad when their CX-9 an suv can outrun it in the quarter... hell... even most minivans have a shot.

 

ohhhhhhh shat... I missed that one totally lol

 

I find the same of the same when it comes to these types of topics. You don't have to like it, you don't have to agree, you might have your own opinion but whatever you might think the WRX tested 4.7sec and that is just a figure.

People make it hard for no reason. That WRX car tested on that specific test did very well, probably that is the best it will get. I am sure the Evo X will out brake and out handle it and mostlikely it will outperform the WRX with some mods but again Subaru launched the WRX with that price and that performance, take it or leave it but don't hate it.

For that price it compites directly with a Ralliart so is up to you. By the way, no one said $hit when the Buicks GN were doing 4.6 sec with only 245- 265hp 22 years ago, or the 1989 Porsche Carrera 4 with only 250hp doing 4.8 sec 0-60. The issue here is that is a Subaru and people don't like that. My .2c

^Basically, the rivalry is very strong for some people.

 

^^ Exactly. No more and no less. I had the 02-03 WRX and it was a POS. Now I look at the new one and I think they came along well. The perfomance numbers definately back them up opposite of what the Ralliart is showing.. My .2c
