Mazdaspeed 3?

I don't think this guy was trying or he just could not drive because it still had the temp tag in the back window. Getting on the highway he took the right and I took the left lane. I got on it and as I was passing him he did as well. We got a little run first through third and I actually pulled about a fender. I thought these things were fast, or just assumed they were because Im pretty sure the mazdaspeed 6's are. They are awd turbo right? Anyway, feel free to call b.s. because Im not convinced this guy was trying. I have a k&n drop in filter, greddy header, and greddy cat back on an otherwise stock 00 si for those that don't know.

He proably wasn't going all the way, I'd think he wouldv pulled on you. Are you sure it was a Mazdaspeed3? Cuz they have Mazda3s that have 140-155hp.

One of my friends has one and ran a 13.7 stock. If the car was brand new the ecu hadnt changed yet. They change on how you drive it.

I doubt he was racing lol. Those are quick cars. I've seen one on my way to work in the mornings. Has exhaust, gauges, probably a newer tune and it sounds two pitches higher than a SRT-4 with exhaust. Deep, nice sound. I'd definitely rock one. Seem fun.
