Default Tune only '13 MazdaSpeed3 vs Modded 3.7 Stang



Both were around a 40 roll, I honked but waited for him to get the hit, I didn't wanna jump early. As soon as I hit 4th gear I would walk away pretty hard. He let off one time because of an oncoming car, then he seemed to let off the other run when I started pulling good in 4th gear. His car looked good, lowered, I could hear his intake when he would hit the gas, car sounded good for a 6er.

With your traps I wouldn't expect the 3.7 to hold up well. Good kill.


A 6.1L SRT8 near stock would be a good match up for you if that's what you guys are talking about. Back when I trapped 108.59 I was door to door with a bone stock 300 SRT8 from a 75 to 130 run... a few months later I was trapping 109.33 (lid/fra only) and I barely crept ahead against the same car.

Yeah, it's an 07 srt. has a cat back that I know of for sure, and could possibly have intake/can tune when we race. But, I should be on an e85 tune by then

Buddies 06 Charger SRT8 went 12.8 @ 108 on a 1.9 60ft with a CAI and canned tune. Sounds like you will have a pretty good race coming up.

I think he'll have it in the bag easily, from a roll. A dig would be a drivers race. I have a raced lined up with a buddy who has a tune only SRT8 in my MS3, he backed out of a race when he had an SS/TC against my SRT8, and won't race my SRT8 now, so I'll be bringing out the MS3 to curb stomp him.

Well, that escalated quickly! lol, Good runs bro! These cars need gear more than anything, and most boltons to run with your car.

Thank you!!

I thought at first it was going to be a fairly good run, but as soon as we both upshifted, my roll advantage really showed. 4th-6th in the speed3 are where it really shines, would a been nice to find out what mods he had. I know the odds of me running into one that packs as much punch and is driven as well as yours are unlikely, lol.
