joelm04's 2007 Mazda MAZDASPEED 3

Info about the car:

The Mazdaspeed3 features the same turbocharged 2.3-litre DISI MZR engine from the Mazda6 MPS/Mazdaspeed 6 . In this application, it produces 263 hp (196 kW) and 280 ft·lbf (380 N·m) when running on 93 octane gasoline ((R+M)/2). This is routed through the front wheels rather than the complex all-wheel drive system found on its big brother (Mazdaspeed6 ). The engine was listed in the Ward's 10 Best Engines for three years straight.

A GKN limited slip differential is standard, along with a six-speed manual transmission, traction control and Dynamic Stability Control. No automatic transmission option is offered. To limit wheelslip, boost in the first gear will be limited to produce a maximum of 230hp (172kW). Boost is also limited in second gear. The amount of boost reduction is determined by the gear selection and steering angle. There is no reduction of boost in gears above second.

Several road tests have the Mazdaspeed3 attaining 0-60 mph in under 6 seconds with skidpad numbers in the .87 to .91 range. In Car and Driver magazine's May 2007 issue, the Mazdaspeed3 recorded its quickest acceleration times, completing the 0-60 mph sprint in 5.4 seconds, with a quarter mile time of 14 second flat at 101 mph (163 km/h). Car and Driver also put the Mazdaspeed3 on their 10 best list for 2007 and 2008.
