Default MazdaSpeed 3 vs. LS1?

Who would win? from a dig and a roll?

I THINK I saw the first one here in town roll around today, not sure. Just a big sticker on the back bumper that said MAZDASPEED

Your too worried about might beat you, go race them and find out. There is no shame in getting beat by a faster car (unless you can't drive).

Ok I have said this once and I will say it again. The Mazda Speed 3 is the fastest FWD production car ever made. Faster than a stock SRT4. From a dig you really shouldn't worry because it will spin and wheel hop so bad. From a roll I would be careful though. I do not know but Deagle if you are stock you only have about 40-50 hp on him. 263 hp on the ground in the mazda versus 300-315 in the maro. I would race him and find out let us know.

No doubt about it, I'll race the guy if the opportunity rises. I was just wanting your guys's input before it ever happened if it does.

Well as you said it does have 263 hp. A stock SRT4 from the factory has 254 to the ground (at least my brothers did) and a Mazda Speed 3 beats it head to head they weigh about the same maybe 200 lbs. difference. So I am guessing that it has to have that to the ground. Though I could be wrong and if I am I would like to know what it has to the ground and if the LS1 can beat it.
