So I am heading back home for thanksgiving, and meeting some old friends, and was wondering if we ended up "comparing cars", what my chances of beating them would be, the mazda 3 is the 2.3L version and is stock except for a rice muffler, and the Acura RL has me worried cause its got a pretty big v6? Mine is bone stock v6. Thanks!

PS: We were going to race on a huge deserted straightaway since indiana has a TON of those in corn-fields. So no twisties for the imports to "do their magic" on lol.

I think the Mazda 3 will own both of you. smell the fart can and breathe deeply of it's magical aroma








seriously though, that sort of crap doesn't belong in here. there is a racing section for a reason.

My step dad had a Mazda 3 and it wasn't very fast, now a MazdaSPEED3 would be a different story.

Oops sorry Tylus, didn't mean to offend, Im a bit new to this forum and didn't know you had a racing section, lol. I'll try and move it, sorry.

@ Roush06GA- I have a auto, and the mazda is not a speed series. But the acura is also a auto and I thought id win cause those RL's always looked a bit on the chubby side to me.

Yep

Get a CAI & tune in there

Just google the RL's numbers...

Here you go:
Power: SAE and 168 kW , 225 HP @ 5,200 rpm; 231 ft lb , 313 Nm @ 2,800 rpm

It weighs 3900 pounds + a driver is over 4000 pounds you should kill it.

Really worth risking a ticket for those cars?
Look at dragtimes and see what each car traps stock?
