Replying to: mpg60 (Aug 31, 2006 5:10 am) I just visited the Mazda USA site, and there was no option, either from the "Build A Vehicle" link on the home page, or on the "Wild Child" site, to build an MS3. I did check the Features and Specs page, which shows peak HP at 263 and peak torque at 280. This has been recently updated, as the last time I checked it showed peak HP as "TBD" (to be determined). I believe the current issue of Sport Compact Car reported 263 HP. Where you building an MS6 instead? It's peak HP is 274. Let's hope for some more reviews--SOON! Thanks, Greg

Replying to: kronogoose (Aug 31, 2006 6:48 am) The link is there. I am in Atl GA.. It is too the left under the wildchild link in the black and white section under shopping tools. I may have spoken to early though on the HP. The main wildchild page states 263. But I am not sure why they don't translate that to the summary on the build your own link. When you get to the end for viewing the summary of what you just built it states 274hp. They are messing with us. I know it.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Aug 31, 2006 1:09 pm) I found it. Kinda funny (but I'll bet it's a glitch). Go to the Mazdaspeed3 'wild child' page. On the left hand side (under shopping tools) select "Build a Mazdaspeed3". Select the trim (sport or Grand Touring), color, and then options until you get to the last page ("Summary"). On the left hand side you'll see "print window sticker". Select that. A little window pops up with 'your' Mazdaspeed3 window sticker showing trim/colors/yada yada yada. ON THAT WINDOW STICKER, under "engine" it says "274hp" It also lists the mileage as 20/26 on that 'window sticker' which doesn't agree with the 20/28 number listed elsewhere. I think all that was found was a typo. BFD. Like it really REALLY matters whether it is 'rated' at 274hp or 263hp. It is what it is. I don't know too many people saying "gee, I'd buy one if it only had 274hp instead of 263hp".

Replying to: rorr (Aug 31, 2006 2:40 pm) I totally agree with you, but Mazda has misstated HP numbers in the past and got a black eye for it. Personally, I would take either HP numbers in my Mazda3...
