It's not all about £ for bhp though.... a tuned evo fq400 would be quicker than a lambo murcielago... what would you rather have?

That's the only reason I put the vid up, I didn't expect such debates about prices of the cars

People asked for a few videos when I bought the car so that's what I'm doing. I'm getting the MPS known a bit more

The RS is gorgeous, and the sound is something else, I'm not trying to say the Mazda is better at all

Keep dreaming and call me biased, but the Ford(Volvo) will always be a better car and faster in every respect....deal with it

is it something to do with it having more power that makes it faster?

I hate to cause an argument, but the Mazda is basically a Ford Focus ST. Same chassis. Engine is a Duratec too. So basically you like both cars....deal with it

I'd imagine that is a deciding factor yes

Theoretically speaking the Focus should still win as it's lighter.

i think you may actually find the focus is heavier than a mazda 3 mps is it not?

Nope.

Mazda - 1485kgs.

Focus - 1468kgs.

Minor, but the Mazda is heavier. People really don't have a clue about the Mazda.

just believe you own a mazda that is cheaper than a focus and isnt a great deal slower than the expensive cars.

thats what i do. my cheap corsa is a lot faster than a 200k supercar. i can afford the corsa.

£30 for such a rare part? Omg it must be bought.

Sanspeed do a remap, I'm thinking about it, although the reviews of the company aren't fantastic, so not sure.

A guy put a Front Mount, Downpipe and air filter on with a Stage 2 map and it made 340bhp on the tuners rollers, and 327bhp at an independant rollers, so nice gains.

oops my mistake

a year old is nothing pal, most of the cars nowadays are kept in bubble wrap so are mega low mileage and as good as new.
