This is exactly why I diddent get a ss/sc as my first MANUAL CAR! This kid got beat by a 2.0 mazda prota

Let them make the car look bad. When they see mine and expect to win, they will be disappointed.

 

wow, what a douche bag

 

I'm not going to vouche for the SS but it sounded like all he did was spin, plus this is an 1/8 of a mile track, not a 1/4 mile track. Worthless results. Many cars that we would otherwise beat CAN beat us in the 1/8 but not the quarter.

Of course if the Mazda is modded pretty well to shoot out of the hole like that then yes I can see him winning. Protege's basically run low 15's high 14's so he beat the driver and not the car..unless highly moddifed to do just that, beat the car.

 

Anything can beat anyting on any giving day

 

it says light modded....arent 2.0 n/a?

 

dude...unless this Protege was supered or something, then im not believing it runs that fast...
i beat my friends protege all the time in my 2.2L LS...we dont even bother racing anymore unless were racing on the freeway....car dodging makes things more fun..gotta choose which lane to switch to...if u get stuck behind a slow truck.. GG heheh (course i dont do this very ofte at all...kinda freaks me out...hit 106 on the freeway with him once)

 

thats compleatly retarded /\ nothing like endangering innocent lives for your fun and games

 

they're like 130hp stock... i could imagine "light" mods being anything from i/h/e to a bolt on turbo kit (was made for the 2.0). anyways, i've owned one, it was a good car, pulled pretty well for it's power level... hard to say whats going on really.

 

Maybe a few of the Mazdaspeed Protege's could, as they came with a *wide* assortment of power levels (all the turbos were installed by an aftermarket company, and some were beasts, and some were slugs...despite the fact they all shared the same 170 hp rating).

No n/a Protege is going to touch 14s stock, and probably not 15s either, although I suppose it's possible.

 

That whole video made me throw up.

 

that vid has been out for a while, i played witha mazda speed version yesterday... he was riding my ass my like a lil bitch, then he tries flying by me............................................... that ummmm.....didnt happen

 

i raced pretty much door to door with a mazdaspeed in my 2.4 but we were just dicking around, i think he could have done better if the car was stock

 

I had a turd at work with a 2.3 Mazda 3 hatch... thought he was the ****... HE THOUGHT WRONG! I whooped his asssssssss! So the SS/SC obviously did not know how to f'in drive, or the Mazda was a little more than "lightly modded!"

 

If it was gutted would "lightly modded" still apply?

 

by the way I was refering to the Mazda speed Protege. The Mazda Sped Protege is a 2.0L....with many power adders such as intake, exhaust, header, manual boost set, proper tuning and sticker tires they can hang with a STOCK SS/SC. When I was stock I raced one from a dig and it was dead even until about the middle of third gear.

Here was my experience with one last year

Stock for Stock =SS

But they can be made fast and I do give them credit.
