Fastest Protege5?
I was wondering who has the fastest MP5 on this board. It seems like there are a few turbo MP5s and stuff and i was wondering what kind 1/4 miles you guys can do. Anyone know our cars 1/4 stock? Thanks!

goto the motorsports section for more accurate times. The above times are from my car. I run around 85 lbs of boost and have a 250 shot of N2O. Its pretty fast.

I didn't say anything about the MP3 :P
You can't argue that MP5 can stand for Mazda Protege5....anyways.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT THE FASTEST P5 IS? It seems like there are quite a few turbo ones around.
Also, how fast can a stock p5 do a 1/4 mile?

probably not the fastest, but what does it really matter?

Thanks for a decent answer CaptainKRM....it matters because i was just wondering what our cars are capable of. It's kinda funny how now one on our board gives a crap about 1/4 miles and stuff but if you go on civic forums and stuff that's what they are all about and we have just about the same HP and stuff :P

Mine sure ai'nt the fastest... still stock. But it sure beats out the competition in the looks department!
I love it when people compliment me on it or when chicks turn their heads in my p5's direction with a longing look in their eyes. My wife is quite amused when the later happens.

Whats the big damn deal with people wiggin out over the MP5 thing? The way I see it, I spent $18k on that car and I call it whatever the hell I want to. If ya know what he means by MP5, then just answer the damn question. I mean, at least its a logical shortened name that doesn't infringe on any other model's name... like if I were to start calling it an M5 or something.

If that kind of power still seems tame, you can try the Y2K Superbike, which is made by a Louisiana company called Marine Turbine Technologies (marineturbine.com /superbike). The bike, which weighs 500 pounds, is powered by a Rolls-Royce Allison gas turbine. It is said to be street-legal by its makers, who say its top speed is 250 miles an hour and can go from 0 to 227 m.p.h. in 15 seconds. The price is $185,000.
