Interesting... 08 Mazda Speed 3 and 08 Accord coupe v6..
All i can say is... wow... i was out cruising around tonight for some pretty decent races when I first ran in to this guy driving a nice looking hatch 2008 mazda speed 3. By the looks, it was nice, did i expect it to be fast .. hell no. To my surprise this guy walked my stock stang like no tomorrow. I could not believe it.Turns out the car weighs 400 pounds less than a 99-04 gt and comes with 263 hp stock. Wow-wah-wee-wah. So with my ego crushed after being beat by a hatch, i continue to cruise around. I end up next to a guy in an 08 accord coupe v6. So now i was pretty happy and just waiting to take my anger out on this accord, but when we took off he surprisingly stayed right next to me... =O. I was like wth not again. So we raced again this time from a digg, and i was sure i would take him now. this time i pull about half a car because of the torque advantage but then he manages to catch right back up and by the middle of 3rd gear he begins to pull on me. =O!! yes this is an accord. again to my surprise i find out that the new accord v6's have 268 hp stock. Is it just me or are they making cars faster and faster? this is ridiculous we shouldnt have to worry about accords and mazdas beating us damm... oh well.. sorry i just had to rant. my ego = -100 now.

At least it's refreshing to see someone come in here and admit losing to another car, instead of claiming to hung w/ a car that's 2 sec faster, or making bullsh!t excuses. Better luck next time man....

I know exactly what you mean! Before i bought my 350Z i knew very little about Nissan cars. I raced my friends Maxima, and was expecting to put bus lenghts on him with my GT, i could barely manage to beat him by 3 cars. Turnsout they have the same VQ engine as my Z. 260hp

I would think your 07 GT would beat a stock Maxima by more than just 3 cars.
To the OP, yeah cars are getting much faster these days, start modding. Those MS3's can hit 13's with just intake, exhaust and a tune. And what scg said, those 4 door sedans are pretty damn quick these days.

Just trade the old stang in on the 2010 Mustang when that comes out. The rumors of 400 HP still presist.

I've never actually raced but according to my dyno numbers. I should run 8s on street tires.
RE: Interesting... 08 Mazda Speed 3 and 08 Accord coupe v6..
Blue, I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one. I was planning on trading in the 01 GT sometime before the end of the year, but now I might keep it for a 2010 Stang. I've heard a 5.4L 3v and I've heard of a 4.6L 4v, but who knows.
