Ehh... that car just seems like a total throw together job. Stock motor (no upgraded internals), T25 Turbo, Tiny Diesel intercooler, and a bunch of aftermarket parts. You can probably build a better car for the same price starting with the regular Protege. I really think some more development work could have gone into that car... it would be a hell of a lot better, especially considering the SRT-4 gives you 50 More HP for the same price... and when it boils down, you're back to Dodge vs. Ford (who owns Mazda)...

I agree with Boilermaker on this one. The car seems to be put together to fit a niche, not constructed to lead one. Instead of designing what they needed, they scrounged from what they had, not the best for reliability, IMO.

What color did he get, the black or the neon tangerine? Cause I also think the neon tangerine is

i wasnt too crazi about the car when it came out. It looks too thrown together and the style of the car needs something more aggressive to it. For what it has on there i would expect highger HP numbers.
