I wouldn't get hung up on "made in America" these day even if it is "assymebled" here, most of it was probably made somewhere else first.
and you wouldnt believe how many brand new Green John Deer farm tractors and CAT bulldozers come off the boats from being "made in Europe"

260hp and all wheel drive. I would love one of those. Just bought a new 2006 Mazda 3s 5 door on friday. The car handles amazing and drives great. Couldn't imagine what it would be like with a 100 more hp. I don't have to feel guilty about owning it either, the cars built on Fords world famous C1 platform. Same plateform the Volvo S40 and the highly regareded European Focus ride on.

also that new mazda 3 speed is suppose to be one hell of a car. 240 hp with some 220 trq, better then the **** engines they give u in an srt-4...

13.1!! thats like a vette (prior to 05) or a camaro ss. i have always herd 14.1 via car and driver... and thats if you knew how to drive!! it kills me how fast those things are, AND how a 5 liter engine has a hard time hanging around with mods. because of that, those srt drivers are really cocky. it seems like a v8 should smash a 4 banger, its unfortunate it works the opposite in the case of the srt. however, all mustang owners have this... your mustang wont start breaking after 20,000 miles like my srt did!!
to all those srt owners out there; enjoy it while it lasts, because they wont last long!! hahaha

13.1 is the biggest bs i've heard in a while...even the srt-4 guys won't try that
i have never seen one run break out of the 14's stock at the track. i hear they do on occasion, but that's in internet land. now the skittle stage 2-3 with toys etc....that's modded, but just buy mopar. i have seen a stage 3 w/ toy's or whatever break into the 12's. for the money, they're not bad cars....it's 90% of their owners/drivers that give them a bad rap

RE: peskey srt4s
My cousin has 1. I haven't raced him though. I know he already replaced the trans under warranty though.
1 thing to remember is the small motor car trans' get beat on pretty bad. I wonder how long a trans/difs last on a WRX.

Most cars are all snap on stuff now, how many bolts and screws do you see on new cars? Almost none. It's much nicer cosmetically if you don't have to see screws all over the place, and you need less tools to pull out the interior. Screws also have a tendancy to crack interior pieces over time.
Since everything was snap on, were the seats snap on too? Was the dash cover snap on? was the gauge cluster? Assuming it all was since you said you had the whole interior out except the steering wheel and shifter, which raises questions like how did you get the dash cover off with the steering wheel still on.
Don't bash good engineering.

I don't know about you, but everytime I pull the carpet out of any car, it's always been 1 piece... i'd be asking questions if my carpet came out in more than one piece...
