Before your MS3/MS6 what did you drive?

Going from a big turbo, 400+WHP car to a 270WHP car always sucks, lol.

I really miss the SRT sometimes, especially how easy and cheap it is to make lots of power. Not to mention the fact that all of the work that was done on my SRT was done by me alone in my garage (only exception to that was the clutch), so I'll always miss it for those reasons.

But for a DD, the MS3 is way more comfortable than the SRT, and handles a lot better stock for stock.

I just sold my first tuner, it was a 1988 Toyota MR-2 N/A amazing car.

Fun cruising car

[AtTheDriveIn]

An '86 Mitsubishi Starion TSi. It was a very fun car... when it ran well. It later became a money pit... wait, I still drive a money pit. FML. I will always miss that car. It was clean as fuck and turned heads everywhere.

[EL F00LI0]

2007 Mazda 3...almost fully bolted.

[transitdk]

2004 Mazda 3 - Sedan, no mods.
1997 Dodge Avenger - Ended up loosing oil pressure on the highway because an idiot tech crushed my oil pan and didn't bother to mention it.
1992 Mazda Protege - hand-me-down car that was sold for scraps it was so bad. Got $200 for it...

[dougefresh_]

01 Acura CL Type-S w/ Comptech headers,cbe, and sport springs; intake, and a 50-shot of NOS for a few tanks, lol. Many previous cars... favorites were 91 300ZX twin turbo (stock) & a built 71' Nova SS 396. Like my speed the best though, but still miss those two cars.

How was that CL type S? SOHC right? very sleeper?

I always heard about transmission issues though, I know a dude who went to it from an S2K thinking it'd be the shit after was done with it.

For some reason I never read very good perfomance numbers from what that engine is rated at .

[paveltol]

Alfa Romeo 156 v6
Grand Cherokee LX 5.9
Lancia Delta HF Turbo 2.0
Mazda 6 2.3 MT

[DuBz]

91 Plymouth Acclaim
87 Dodge Daytona turbo (shelby)
97 Saturn SC2 (worked)
08 speed 3

The Daytona is what started it all......picked it up from a mechanic for $300 with a re-built top end, 179,000 miles and a promise that it would never run again. Saw that big square "turbo" gauge in the center of the dash and I've been hooked ever since

Mine went like this
89 Grand Cherokee Limited
93 Ford Bronco (OJ Edition)
00 Jeep Wrangler
03 z71 Tahoe
05 Magnum R/t
03 6.0 Excursion (Still have)

Before I bought this car I wanted to sell the Excursion and get into a GCSRT8 or an STi. Once I sat down and saw how much it would cost I decided against it (I'm the cheapest bastard you will ever meet). I went and looked at WRX's and couldn't get a deal on one. Went and test drove the MS3 and fell in love. I still can't believe the deal i was able to get. Love every minute of having this little bastard.

[Ferg]

i had an 08 mazda6s touring. put a jdm catback exhaust on it, and an AEM cold air intake. was fun, handled good, and was kinda quick. sounded good with an exhaust, but was slow as shit for a v6. kinda miss it, but i love the ms3.

Started out in an '88 Caprice 9C1 and built a 3 ton flying brick out of it. Great platform. Then got a 2001 maxima to be driven daily. Sold both and bought the 2010 MS3. Working on it compared to my Chevy is no fun. But I do enjoy having a skid pad of less than 3 million feet

Nice! i had a 96 GT. I absolutely loved the rear(on the hatchbacks). so curvy and beautiful. i wouldn't exactly say good power tho. At the time i really wanted to do a 3sgte swap. loved GT4's

other than that:
87 Celica
07 FMHN
07 MS3

[MacsAndMazdas]

Before I brought the Speed6, I had an 04 Mazda 6S that I loved. Had to give back because it was leased.

Then I brought an 05 Volvo S60R which was a blast. To bad the AWD was glass. Blew it apart about two years after I got it with only 70K miles on it. Loved the car and wish I still had it up until I got the MS6.

After that, I brought a brand new 2011 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Premium. Nice car but boring as hell. Could not wait to get rid of it. Not sure what I was thinking with that one.

Had about 450-475 HP, OBX Long tube headers, custom intake, 1.8 rockers, HPT tuned by me, 3500 stall, built trans, custom CAI, electric fans, BSER Roll Pan, Centerline wheels... AWD was nice in winter and for blasting off around corners, but I missed not being able to burn out. First and only car/truck that I've ever really missed. Did 21 MPG on E85 too.

[b3nnno]

before the speed3, i drove a 2006 chevy cobalt ss 2.4L n/a. boring interior, automatic and slow. the speed was a major upgrade to say the least.
