Pro. 2.0L vs Pro. 1.8L vs P5
Hi guys,
I am just wondering that if a Pro. 2.0L, Pro. 1.8L and a P5 race who would wins. I have seen a Pro. 1.8L (5 speed) stock bet a Pro 2.0L (5 speed stock) a few times. but what about the p5. |
if a pro 1.8 beat a pro 2.0, then most likely it will beat a P5 also.
Both the 1.8 and 2.0 engine are close in power. It will be a race between the drivers, not the car. |
yeah stock for stock the FP powered car would win, but for more reasons than just the engine...Search for the differences of the engines. But the FP can't match the lowend torque of the FS-DE, so pulling around town the FS will grunt better...just fizzle at high rpm...

Last year I raced a 2.0 Protege with my 1st gen 1.8 I smoked him badly but his car was auto and my car is manual:shift:
That probably made a big difference:cool: :D |
i just beat a P5 last friday.... well not beat ... i kept up with him, cuz i missed damn third gear ....
but even with missing third i styll kept up with him, was pulling away from him too , den i miss 3rd... sucks ... but ye if i hadn't missed 3rd i woulda beat him |
wonder how the 1.8BP would perform against the 1.8 3rd gen and the 2.0
Bruce I honestly think the BP is the strongest out of all 3 |

It's funny how the 1999-2000 1.8L Proteges are quicker than the 2001-2003 Proteges...and of course all of these are quicker than the 2002-2003 Protege-5s...due to their being such heavy little pigs. ;) :p |

cars are getting heavier...it's sad. Once I can pay for insurance, I'm getting a Miata...2000 lbs. I'm a big fan of light little cars. I test drove a '96 1.8L Miata the other day...I want one!!!

Originally posted by PseudoRealityX The 99-00 3rd gens are close too. Jason's ES no sunroof car is probably around 2500, while my sunroof 92 was 2497 lbs The weight of a 99-00 ES is slightly LOWER than an equivalent 2nd-gen due to clever weight shaving by Mazda, primarily the substitution of the smaller, lighter FP-DE for the big, ultra-reinforced BP. :) Unfortunately, Mazda undid their weight savings by slathering the 01+ in sound deadening. :rolleyes: |
well yeah, I guess the '96 was just over 2000lbs...and it's really disappointing how heavy the new Miata is--2400 lbs? doesn't sound like the Lotus that inspired it to me.
...I haven't test driven the MR Spyder...I wonder if the sequential 6-speed is funner than the classic stick? Might have to look at those too. It's a shame that VWs are so heavy now too...the 1.8T is such a sexy engine. |
the sucker pictured below , has no sunroof , no power windows , no power locks , no power release trunk ,
shoot I am surprised they even put a engine in it .... or did they:eek: |
I gotta choose the BP. Those things can move and shake pretty damn well even in stock form. Besides, lets not forget which PROTEGE engine was the only one besides the MAZDASPEED to come boosted from the factory.:D
