My MS3 is currently rocking 275 HP and 300 foot pounds of torque... Mazda FTW. I don't think there is a stock car out there for under $45k - $50k that can beat my vehicle (or any other MS3) on the track.
All depends what you're looking for I suppose. The 1/4 mile speed of my Rav 4 really didn't come into the equation for me.

Go around a corner and tell me how fast a Mustang GT goes. Are they still using a live rear axle on those things?

Today is the second time in 2 weeks that it's in the Mazda dealership. It's starting to look like engine replacement. It's not a leak, it's not going into the coolant, it the compression is fine. They're running more tests this afternoon. UGHHH!
I've had some frustrating ongoing problems with a Mazda (Tribute) I bought a few years back myself, starting the same year I got it (2009).
Things like Dome light issues, windshield wiper malfunctions, engine not turning on, brake pedal gyrations; pretty much a cornucopia of neverending problems.
In short; Mazda is awful.
From the sounds of it, you guys both bought used vehicles, who knows what the owner before you did to those vehicles, if they were maintaned well etc... Any used car can have problems, especially once the warranty is up. That's the chance you take with buying used, one reason I only buy new vehicles.

Nope got it brand spanking new from the factory. Have had continuous problems since inception, all the way through and past warranty.

Really? Last time you drove a Toyota, did you turn it on? I have more than enough pep to pass at highway speeds in my cheap corolla.
