Nope, stock it has i-vvtl about 170-175 horses engages at 6500. Its a GReddy sc. He also has a Hyrda ECU not connect yet b/c he hasn't had a change to get it to the dyno to tune. It runs a little rich now but after he get the Hyrda on it it'll be ***** to the wall. I'd say he's putting around 225 down to the wheels right now. Needs a clutch and flywheel. Currently he's on stock so Im sure they'll wear out shortly.

For a car made in assembled in Japan...the Mazda 3 breaks down entirely too much. I've seen way to many in our dealership with some pretty significant issues. They're a good value....but you really have to stay on top of the service maintenance. The Speed3, however seems to be a better buy than a base 3. I haven't seen any of them in for problems other than a motor-mount recall.

I took those pics. I'll take them down if you don't like them.
Yes I test drove a Mugen Si for about 4 hrs.
Quit hating on my Maz. I've never had a problem w/it.

Too late now. THere's already countless threads with pics of this car and people discussing it and arguing over it. You've already made the thread...might as well leave them up. Plus there is also a seperate thread for pics.

That was not directed at you. Why are you so butt hurt this morning? Someone posted that Mazda sucks.

Then why did you quote ME?
There is however ONE benefit to your pics. Some people seem to think that the brakes on the Mugen are upgraded. A couple of your close-up pics of the wheels show otherwise.
So for those who thought the rotors were "slotted". Here you go.

So I guess their Mazda CX-9 (2008 Motortrend Sport Utility Vehicle of the Year) is a giant failure as well right?

That may be true, but if I remember correctly it had one of the worse crash test ratings.

Re: (6speedMaster)
I do know how to take care of my car. maybe it was the prev owner. Just b/c you've had a bad experience at one point doesn't mean everything they make sux.
