I had a 05 Mazda 3 2.3L manual, not knocking the cobalt but for some reason I have a hard time believing you had a 2-3 lead on these, stock they have 160hp and 150tq, unless it was an auto, simply because I have pulled nasty on a civic coupe with an b16 ls swap from a dig and yes I did know the guy so it was an all out run. After I had completed catback, header, intake, i was running with my friends modded nissian sentra spec r's. Either way good kill.

i agree the mazda autos are slow i test drove but then i tested the manual and it was like a different car. I would like to see a modded 2.2 manual go against a mazda 3 2.3 stock form and would like to see stock verse stock 2.4 coby vs 2.3 3
