I looked it up and a Mazda 3 is supposed to be good for a low 16, so if you can drive, I'd say you can take him.

My wife drives a Mazda 3s and while it is a nice car and pretty zippy for a 4 banger its still a 4 banger. I'm guessing you're a V6, if so the 3swill be close the 3i not so much. If its the Mazdaspeed 3 you are dead meat.

better hope it isnt a mazdaspeed3 they have 260 hp and 280 ft/lbs of torque. if it is just a regular mazda 3 it will be a relatively close race. just go race him and if you lose you lose who cares.

If its a MazdaSpeed3 you might as well pack up and go home bc those things are rockets

I just beat a Mazdaspeed 3 from a 30ish roll in my IS300. Check out the thread I just bumped for the story. They're definitely quick, but supposedly their throttle is limited in 1st and 2nd gear so they are at an extreme disadvantage from a slow roll.

Just to be the oddman out, I'll say the Mazda has you on this one, sence you are so nervous about racing him. Take a chill pill (ya, i just said chill pill) and race him.
