    Yeah, that's the problem. People's egos take over and common sense goes out the window....

    Thread revival...

    I think our MPS secret is starting to get out, definitely more people know what they are. I've noticed people will actually get out of the way now if you're coming through and others in "performance" cars will make a huge effort to pull up near you at the lights and have a look at the car.

    Blew away a standard VE SS ute from a rolling start up a hill the other week, poor bloke shat himself when he heard the turbo whistle

    Its starting to catch on tho...even the cops know what a MPS is...well some do

    As for the XR5..i guess they get the same thing....as only a close eye can really tell the difference.

    Things may change when the new 3MPS arrives...with all the kit and kaboodle.

    Personally, I dont care....call it a girls car, shopping trolley etc....but it can beat 85% of the cars on the road...not bad for a turbo 4.

    Happy Motoring

    I dunno what it is...maybe I'm just slow or my car is really slow but I don't think I could ever beat a VE SS let alone XR6 turbos. Is there really such a big difference between the MPS 3 and 6? Are you guys doing this stock?

    I think I have to agree with BB on the fact that most people don't know what we've got.
    I like the idea of having a sleeper that only the truly observant car lovers know what hides under the bonnet...

    I'm not a big one for BOV's and all that stuff, but I like the idea of scaring the crap outta someone when you leave them for dead, accelerating away from them!!!

    Girl's Car? Shopping trolley?? Let 'em think that, will keep the tossers out of our beloved MPS's and keep them in WRX's and Skylines...

    Guess what guys,Cops do know the potential of MPS3. Here on the Sunshine Coast the cops have a black MPS3 unmarked. One of my friends got booked by them and he thought it was me until they activated lights.
    The cops car has lights on dash and lights under the rear spoiler insde the rear glass.and stobes inside the front grill . SO ha ha you have been warned. Regards Oldhead

    You definately can beat SS and XR6 turbos and lib GTI's ... and lots of cars admittedly the surprise factor gets you over the line against the big guns but that is part of the joy in it esp in the 6. Ive lost track of how many times Ive done it then at the next set of lights you see them totally checking out your car to work out what it is, its a bigger slap for them too when they see a girl driving
    Taken my boring, bland, lame Subaru and my fat ass and driven off into the sunset with a smile on my face

    Perhaps you've been running with modded SS's? Stock ones are not that quick. I've beaten SS utes to the speed limit while driving a rented 380. Easy peasy in an MPS.

    The other day I ran with 2 magna's, smoked one but the other one almost kept up with me!!! Until we got to a corner. Must have had a supercharger cos he we real keen to have another go. How did it look from your perspective Matt?

    Not 350kg difference, but 210kg...That does make a difference...but so does all wheel drive and no torque restrictions- Off the mark, 6 wins...which is why they are better in that situation...cruising and flooring it, the 3 beats the 6.
