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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
