Whooping your *** around a twisty track is pretty important as well. Being able to do so with 330whp from basic boltons, 4 wicker chairs for the patio in the back seat, and a new lawn mower to keep the yard nice and pretty iin the trunk, and getting better gas mileage is just gravy. Have I mentioned how well my car handles in the snow?

classic!
But not 1/2 as funny as these misguided individuals you have quoted:

Now, that's entertainment!

At TWS this weekend there was a modded MS3 running in my group. I'd say he'd have been able to keep up if I hadn't just thrown on the RPF-1's, new tires, and HP+'s.
I was very impressed, it's got a lot more going for it than most people give it credit for.
Then again, he was passing C4S's on the back straight, so you know that he's far from stock. And by passing, I mean buttraping.
The MS3 is the new Neon SRT-4, unfortunately.

The longer I own my Evo and the more I've tuned the engine and the suspension, the less apt I am to care about those who have no idea what I'm driving and what it can do. It's their loss.

The car that went to the event is a silver and IT'S STOCK!!!! even the wheels are stock... so please make sure you get your facts right before you write them here.
I own the MS3 now (I MISS my RX8 no doubt) and I was one of the guys that initiated the MS3 drive near Austin. However this specific day when you "tested" the car I wasn't able to attend otherwise I am sure the only thing you would have been able to see would have been my bumper...
This is just crazy... Why can't we accept that Mazda made a "better" car altogether? As I originally said, looks, engine sound and handling NOTHING compares to the RX8... For the rest... the MS3 is a winner.

Ok, This thread has gone nowhere... and I honestly don't think you know what you are talking about. The "red" car as you say you "tested" has NEVER gone to a track event!!! I know the owner and I have driven this car as well. I know where the car is and what is being done to it.
The car that went to the event is a silver and IT'S STOCK!!!! even the wheels are stock... so please make sure you get your facts right before you write them here.

So lets try not to put things in my mouth...mkay...if you would stop being a fanboy long enough and slowly read the post you would have noticed THAT instead of frothing at the mouth and aiming to troll...
Get your own facts straight before calling someone out because all it does is make you look like an *** trying to pick a fight...

Alright. This thread is now the EVO vs RX8. Which is better?
#216
BTW the GTO is pathetic when it comes to doing ANYTHING other than going in a straight line. Looks kinda like a buick...but with alot less creativity...
#218
The value proposition for bringing a turblown econobox to the market to compete in the segment is why it exists. Simply going fast in a straight does not make something better in the realm of performance. Had Mazda released a turblown rotary it would have cost them a significant amount of money just bringing it to market due to the single purpose components. Add FI to an RX and it goes fast in a straight line too...thankfully most people dont care JUST about that...except for people in mustangs...and GTO's and stuff...

Please read the post you're referring to. I said he had stock wheels and was on street tires, and that he couldn't keep up, except for on the straights. I was impressed with his driving ability, I gave credit where credit was due. I was helping you out but now you've pissed me off. Get the **** out unless you have something to contribute.
I for one am glad he didnt go on the hill country ride that day, those other guys are pretty cool and we had a good time. Had mister jackass went I'm sure it would have ended badly.
I for one was impressed with how well the MS3 did that day when I was at TWS, I totally respect that guy. I'm sure you came away with the same mentality. But I also know that its not the tool, but the driver. Hell even on a kart track with equal karts, the instructors and better drivers still win. Driver makes the car, not the other way around.

Indeed what Michael said was "It was a silver MS3. Looked stock except for the exhaust" and this is what I was referring to.
Mr Michael: My comment was not directed at you.
Mr Eviltwinkie stated that he "knew the car" that was there and it was RED, and he was referring to last weekend!!! Unless last weekend was in April" I believe the only car that was at TWS was a silver MS3. I know that car as well and I know it's stock!!
Bottom line is that I have NEVER seen anybody ARGUING with everybody on the forum posting SO MANY USELESS threads and making him look MORE AND MORE like an ***...
I am glad I didn't go to the MS3 get together and for once, since I am one of the organizers, and you will NOT be invited back, as your attitude sucks and your level of comprehension obviously lacks any common sense.
Why can't we agree that the RX8 is a DRIVERS car(looks and handling are hard to top!!) and the MS3 is GOOD car(has everything else: power, utility, consumption and reliability)
The MS3 will NEVER be an RX8 and they have their own strengths and weaknesses.
