Boosted Civics vs. Mazdaspeed
Would those of you who utilize the magic of boost be able to take on the Mazdaspeed? I don't really know a lot about that car, and I keep daydreaming about the boost I wanna get in a really really really long time [hopefully not that long].

Rep Power: 0 heres some perspective for you
If me, boosted vic, mazda speed were to race the outcome would look somthing like this......
mazda
--------------------------me
--------------------------------------civic
and thats on the civics w/o alcohol injection. lol
just cause it has a turbo doesnt mean it's super fast. lol

noo you forgot people like boostedciviczex! and me soon! NOS and boost... probally a little below catalyst 
just messing with ya its cool we should be a little higher than boosted civic range.

^ whats your 1/4mile ET 00celicagts6spd?
a n20 civic on 75 shot would be pulling 14.4's....a 50 shot 14.8's
so i would think that the bar should look alittle something like this...
..............................................n2o vic (50shot)
.................................................. .................n2o vic (75shot)
.................................................. .................00celicagts6spd
but definetely not the 50% difference between you and the n2o

another thing i just though of is that i've heard of a couple of the 'boosted vics' only running low-mid 14's....so thats not far above the n2o area.....which is why i love the juice

Rep Power: 0 I run about 13.9 (will be sportin a new ecu tomorrow though) should be good for 13.8's as is and 13.5 when tuned with the new header I'm waiting for 
So I'd actually be about even with some of the boosted vics 
I just didnt want my joke to look too biased

Rep Power: 337 from the factory, mazdaspeeds are supposed to be the best handling stock car, or so i heard/read.
The whole turbocharging the protege/MP3 was to resolve the severly underpowered limited edition MP3

Rep Power: 319 ^agreed... and those that are only running 14s on boost are running low boost, the car can actually handle alot more than what they are pulling
^ the mazda would win..thats not a fair race. more displacement, a turbo and more $$$. But all things considered they arent all that fast. A civic on a 50 shot would take em

103 - 105 whp would be more reasonable. Its about an 18% loss overall. A DX/LX dyno's in at around 95hp.
Just a FYI
