Nice, I see these everyday at work so it really does'nt float my boat. But you got what you wanted. Personally, myself I would have looked for a 03/03.5 Mazdaspeed Protege, these cars would haul it, and they were seriously detuned to make them more driver friendly.The boys at Calloway actually built the turbo system for it and while talking to them about it they said the car could easily produce well over 250 hp. I should know, I was actually one of the installers for this project, this is the car that actually brought the Mazdaspeed program to America. Mazdaspeed been i Japan for a long time and there were certain critirea that had to be met to get the program over hear. Think I got an old MAZDASPEED logo or 2 around you interested?
