    At least its wheel horsepower and not crank horsepower Why do you think I'm not doing any engine mods? Eventually I'll get rid of the engine and put in a supra TT one in there. Direct bolt in

    The torque can be felt starting from 4500rpm. But at that point I'm riding on the gas tank

    My car doesn't have a wing. And I don't like the stock wings either.

    The engine is going to be later.. much later.

    BTW: How much do you guys think the repair would cost?

    Well, those FWD cars are modified. My drivetrain is 100% stock. Not really a fair comparison

    I never said that my car is safer in turns or make me a better driver. I said that RWD is better in turns. If you know the rigth time to jerck the wheel then good for you.

    Drivetrain matters. RWD is great for summer. FWD is good for snow. AWD is great in snow.
    I don't jerk my wheel, dude...

    You're so right and know everything.

    I don't drive a Ford, by the way, unless Ford has a plant in Hiroshima that makes the Protege. But yea, so its a Ford now, apparently...Trust me, I know whats a Ford and what isn't.

    If we are going to compare how fast you can take a 90 degree turn (which is an utterly stupid mesurement to judge a car by...), I can do it at about 40-45mph. My car is better than yours, nyah-nyah. *leaves 3rd grade*.

    Remember the 2 top pics? My mechanic charge me $1350 to bang it out. I got a quote from another guy who said $2500 for a new fender with repaint and install.

    Here, wing = insanely high spoiler made out of aluminum most of the time

    Don't say Mazda borrows from Ford. Mazda is part of the Ford family, period. This is why new Ford models are based on Mazdas and Volvos

    Yes, if you drive a new mazda then you drive a ford, or some part ford.

    Yeh, that's because you have a FWD car
