-It says on the article you posted that a supercharger is rumoured in the works. I never said Mazdaspeed had a turbo, I said some people believe it may eventually get one. Please thoroughly read what I type.
- Road and Track is not the be all, end all of car reviews, it is in the interests of car magazines to give more lenient reviews to certain cars, especially those that might feature ads in their magazine. You can't assume a car magazine to be neutral. How many car magazine reviews can you find that are directly contradictory to one another? You fail to understand that the RX-8 is targeted towards a slightly different demographic than the RX-7, but still does a damn good job of what it was designed to do, especially for a car that only costs around 40k.
-I never said Mazdaspeed -parts-, I was referring to Mazdaspeed cars. I said -we- have to turn to individual parts. And Mazdaspeed tuned cars do have a factory warranty.
-I'm aware of difs.in ECU, intake, etc etc. but the Aus. Mazda3, but if you read the specs. you'd see that the output when converted to HP is less (115kW=154hp, torque is about the same...) than the NA Mazda3. Meaning that the engine is essentially the same and may even be somewhat more restricted in Australia. But I guess you know that too.
-Regardless of what your economics show, would you not take $345 that someone offered you for free? Seeing as how apparantly I can't argue worth with you?
-Pristine apparantly is, as the dealer told me that despite my accident that in it's present condition my car still falls in the top tier of Black Book value.
-Economy and sport do belong in the same description, the Sentra SE-R Spec V, the Civic SiR, the Focus SVT, I might even say the SRT-4, these are 'sporty' economy cars.
I fail to understand why you're so quick to condemn. I never insinuated that your car knowledge was incomplete or inextensive, but you seem too adament to contradict.

Ah well, I suppose that is a better reply than your usual derisive banter.

Rep Power: 0 Jokes on you buddy, I just exposed you stupidity. Agreeing to false things I posted just shows how un-educated you are. Man, I really do hate stupidity like yours.

Rep Power: 0 Alright, I really have no idea what you're talking about at this point. Somewhere along the line you seem to have figured that this isn't a public bulletin board where people aren't entitled to any of their opinions without being condescended to by your arrogance. Somewhere along the lines you seem to have forgotten your civility and the fact that you have, throughout the past 3 pages resorted to calling names and then have the gall to call me a 'kid', this just goes to show who's stupidity ('un-educated' isn't even a word, try some literacy) you're really exposing. You're just one more ignorant kid behind a keyboard looking to pick fights online and no matter how much you think you know about cars, that doesn't change that.

Rep Power: 0 Umm..alright I'm six feet tall and in my fourth year of university, unless you're a giant or some sort of glandular freak I don't know what the hell you're talking about. And I don't know how you've met me on more than one occasion, as I've only come to a singular meet to date.

Rep Power: 0 Considering that the rest of us here know NOTHING about cars, I guess we should all bow down to the master. Just keep in mind, everyone knows something about cars that somene else may or may not know. You can't know everything.

When knowledge fails...resort to "I'm bigger than you". Aka...my dad can beat up your dad.

"You're just one more ignorant kid " I replied to this.
Now, this is the part where you should STFU buddy.
"Umm..alright I'm six feet tall and in my fourth year of university, unless you're a giant or some sort of glandular freak I don't know what the hell you're talking about."
I guess the ***** comparing contest begins. Man, you're even more stupid than DRE2600.

Rep Power: 0 And as far as anyone is concerned, this whole drama was to liven up the Canada West forums. I have nothing against Dre2600 and I have even pm'd him. I do not think dre2600 is stupid.

Rep Power: 0 For everyone else to see:
http://www.mugen-power.com/topics/dy...108/index.html
That is the Mugen-tuned Honda Fit. Very nice indeed!
However, the stock version is 108HP with a 5spd or a 7spd sequential-shift CVT. Rumour has it that it comes to NA in either spring 2005 or 2006. About $22K cdn fully
loaded.
Renny - One day I will find a car I can fit in while wearing a helmet! Then, I'll come to the trackdays with you.
