Tonight my friend was drivin us to a diner and we got into his car and were driving. Before i got in i hadn't realized what kind of car it was because it was pretty dark out. anyway, he was drivin and pushed on the gas and i was like who's car is this, he said it was his moms (cause his was bein fixed) and i was like damn this things pretty quick, what is it and he told me it was a 97 protege. Anyway, i had never drivin in a protege before, but i've seen pictures and have always liked them, but i was amazed at how quick it felt...and it was even automatic.

Just thought i'd share that story.

What kind of HP and Torque does this year protege crank out?

 

92hp @ 5500r/min
96lbs/ft @ 4000r/min

For the 1.5l

122hp @ 6500r/min
117lbs/ft @ 4500r/min
For the 1.8l

 

talk about a pocket rocket!!

 

dog, mazdas arent fast. Drive a swapped honda. Then you can talk about a pocket rocket. I drive 2 protege's and they aren't that quick, I wanna know what you drive to think stock protege's are quick.

 

Thats It??!! i dunno maybe i was loosin it last night cause i thought it felt pretty fast

 

i drive an 04 cavy. but i'm so use to it i don't even feel its power (not that it has any haha)
