I just had a stupid idea but I was wondering which car do you think would win in a race a p5 or an es both bone stock just a stupid question and please lets not turn this into a pissing match or I will contact the admin. and have him lock this thread. I just want opinions in my aspect I think the es would win just b/c I think it is lighter but hey it's just my opinion.

 

Well... there is less than a hundred pounds difference.. so not like it would be a all out smokin the crap out of it type of race..... but the ES is lighter than a P5

 

Would then come down to drivers

 

Doesn't the P5 have a stiffer body, with the inherent strength of its body shape and the strut tower bar up front? I was told that made the car stiffer and better handling, so in a twisty course, I'd expect the P5 to win.

 

um.....I'll need to check again, but the P5 is 224lbs lighter than a MSP....not sure how much the turbo system and audio stuff weighs, but I can't imagine 224 lbs.

 

well.. I looked up the weight of my car on the web... and I've also weighed mine.. and it was about 15 lbs difference??? so.. I'd have to say where I found it is probably pretty accurate...

 

If the P5 is already 100 lbs. heavier, wouldn't that make it 324 lbs? That doesn't make sense, I could see the MSP being 224 over the ES, between the turbo, IC, stereo, suspension and wheels.

 

in order of weight from lightest to heaviest of all North American market 3rd genners

99-01 DX,99-01 LX,99-00 ES,02+ DX,02+ LX,01+ ES, 02+ P5,01 MP3,03+ MSP......

Slowest to Fastest

99-01 LX,99-01 DX,02+ P5,01+ ES,02+ LX, 02+DX, 99-00 ES, 01 MP3,03+ MSP

based on actual weights from Mazda and actual 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times
