From a roll the Speed 3 keeps up a little in my mustang (depending on what speed from the roll). From a dig its a whole different story...

Those were more like football fields... I also expected a pretty bad beating but not anything like that against a respectable roll car, even if it was stock.

The Speed3 did not have a chance from a dig. I owned an 07 Speed3 and they are very hard to launch, because of what Mazda did to the torque management system which does not allow power in 1st and 2nd gear. Once you hit 3rd thru 5th it is a different story. But it falls flat on it's face once you hit 5500 RPM. From a roll of about 30 it is a very quick car and this may have been a very different race. Good run none the less.

I had one too and this is exactly what I experienced as well.

Just wondering...my blown 2v should run low 11s, stock motor....and theres a ton of guys over at ModFords running 11s and even a few in the 10s on stock motor with blowers.
