We are car guys.

Then you are bigger idiot then I thought.
Nobody buys an STi or Evo to be a "1/4 monster". That's not what they are built for. They are extremely fast cars that handle very well and are most at home on a track, whether it be a road or rally course. They are decent at a drag strip. They just do everything well, unlike an RX-8.

It was the fastest "ugly box" as my post stated. Hater

FlyingLeggs, Please stop posting unless its gunna contribute to the thread in a positive way... you seem to have no idea what your talking about.

Here is what I can say about the MS3. Ive ridden in a M3 2.3 that was turbocharged (not sure how much boost), and the car also had a decent suspension job. I imagine it is close to what an MS3 would feel like. It was a quick little squirt, pretty much point and shoot driving through town. At WOT the turbo gave a nice little kick in the pants, and I imagine its pretty quick in the quarter. It defently felt faster than my 8, although the feel of a turbo spooling up can be deceptive.
If the MS3 is even close to what my buddy is driving, Id buy one if I were in the market for a GTI, A3 or something along those lines.
I enjoy my 8, regardless of how many cars on Mazdas brochure are 'above' it.
I do have to say the MS3 will beat us in gas consumption, and thats a small victory for it as well I think.

Please use MZ3 and not M3 when describing the Mazda 3.

I thought using M3 and MS3 in the same paragraph was clear enough... guess not.
Although, you did know the difference when reading it, so wont other people?

No, first thing I think of and read is BMW M3, then im like wtf. Always have since began using M3 and M6 to describe the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6.

Sorry, its a nit-pick of mine. Carry on.

Yea, I could understand you getting a little confused when I say M3... good point, but like I said, in context it was pretty clear what I was talking about.
