Replying to: dugl (May 14, 2009 1:48 pm) The soft top is 48/52 and the hard top is 49/51. Slap a big engine in the front and it would probably be more like 55/45, which could upset the balanced handling. Do you really think it needs more power? I very rarely use full throttle. In my old one I had to use full throttle all the time. Now there's power to spare for normal driving.

Replying to: tgeen (May 15, 2009 7:49 am) The MazdaSpeed3 uses Direct Injection so Mazda already has experience with the technology. I'm not sure how much more they could squeeze out of a normally aspirated 2 liter, but who knows? DI would add a bit more power, forced induction even more, or they could even just offer the 2.3l DI Turbo from the MazdaSpeed 3. Honestly I think that's overkill. |
