    ok, have read the forum rules now also - feel much enlightened- Thanks

    We had a Skyline on the Canberra cruise. He kept up with us on the straights, backed it off on the corners.

    The RB25 is not to be taken lightly, nor is the SR20, depends on whats done to them

    On the topic of the performance of the MPS.

    I think the results in events like Targa Tassie speak for themselves, and the more these sorts of results get media attention the appreciation for the true nature of the car will only increase.

    A lot of people will never accept that a performance car doesn't have to have a V8 or all-wheel drive.

    Putting all the bagging aside, and sorry for hijacking the thread, there are SO many factors which determine ones’ lap times on a circuit.

    Getting on the track is truly the second most fun activity you can do while sitting down. You will learn more about your driving skills and your car in 3 laps then you ever will on the road, no matter how hard you think you drive your car on the street. I just wish I had time to get out there more often; I still have heaps to learn.

    To bring it on to topic, the more MPS getting on the track, the more exposure you’ll have to the racing community, and the more respect you’ll receive.

    Squirting off at the lights is no indication of how fast your car is, and it’s also illegal.

    haha all is good. Homeless and I are very competitive, have been for many many years. And never let the other forget who’s on top!!!


    And I couldn't agree with you more about people ruining the Skyline, Fast and Furious was the start and end for a lot of people.

    wtf guys!

    NOONE has EVER tried 2 race me @ the lights in my MPS. Besides one guy in a SP23 who just wanted to see how fast it was. He didn't expect to win.

    I don't brag abt it or talk abt it unless someone asks me... and the only ppl that ask me are the ppl that kinda know abit about them...

    ... maybe I should brag abt it more.

    Is that the lesson to be learnt here?

    Lolz

    no lesson to be learnt here at all. pretty sure we like people not knowing what our cars are, as someone pointed out earlier it means we don't attract unwanted attention.

    But it's just annoying sometimes when someone asks about your car and you have to make a 15min explanation on the Mazda pecking order and where the MPS sits

    yea i have given the 15 mins explanation to many people haha and told my mum plenty of times no its not like the girl down the roads car...

    I've told my mum it IS like every Mazda 3 on the road, but mine just has some rims and is lowered, so she can sleep easier @ nite. HAHAHA

    No good having her know that this car can reach 200kmph with ease. Not that I drive that fast. But if she knows it can then she'll be calling me every 20 mins whilst I'm out.
