Just curious when it comes out. I think I got the wife talked into it, she really likes that car LOL

the what?

The dealer down heres getting one in the next few weeks. Its already at the port but there still installing the turbo and all the other goodies. Apparently its installed after shipping to us and not at the factory.

it's a new Protege with a T25 turbo and 170hp. it's not a very fast car but it's made for the twisties.



AND FIRST AND FOREMOST IT'S A MAZDA https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

anyone know the 0-6- specs on it?

The Mazdaspeed MP3 Protege is already available. I went to test drive the new '03s and the guy told me that they have been out, but they are hard to get(the mazdaspeed ones that is). They are turbo, but they put the most work into suspension. 0 to 60 is 7.1 on most tests I've seen. The sticker will be just at 20K I believe(in my area at least) for the base and lil over 24K fully loaded...we'll wait to see though. Honestly, if you want a good handling fast protege...buy an '01/'02 ES for 12K and put a flyin miata turbo kit on it for 4K...spend 5K less then a factory one, and be quicker in a straight line. The mazdaspeed will still outhandle the ES though....damn those racing hart wheels, lol...

they have it up on the Mazda website. It has no options, it just comes as is, with all the options. the on;ly thing you can choose is red or black and think they are saying $20,500

That color is more a burnt orange then red,color is kind of loud, hope you like black.





Rotoryman- he wants a NEW car for his wife, dont you get it? lol



Everytime someone mentions a new car there are people that chime in with what you can build for the same money.

New for the wife-warranty for the wife, less headaches for the husband.

Wife happy-makes husband happy.

so correct rob. and phins we dont have em here yet, they are still at the ports. i would see the waiting list cause the four that my local dealer is getting has one sold already

OH yeah that **** looks awesome, mazda sent me a booklet on them when I ordered some mazda speed parts!! they also sent a CD of the RX-8 that's shaped like a rotor!!
