As I've said before, there's nothing "lightweight" about a 3rd gen Protege..."Never run out of real estate, traction & ideas at the same time"

I know it's 200hp, but I think it's still NA. Kudos to saturn, their cars have been getting a lot better, if only they could make a nice looking interior. I love my mom's '04 Vue. 250hp, that thing moves pretty damn well, it would destroy both of my cars, and probably my friends mazda 6 auto.Dan

you know how saturn engines i have seen swapped at my friends shop.....
along with the front panels, i think they make the rods out of abs too...According to my Anger Management Counselor, after 26 weeks of anger management class, I should be an expert when it comes to Anger Management...tell that to the guy who threw a starburst at my car in rush hour traffic...haha

I tried out a Mazdaspeed pro last week and wasn't all that impressed! I was expecting to actually feel the turbo, but didn't...don't get me wrong it still pulled pretty well, but the powerband was smooth and in my oppinion lacked that turbo "charge" forward I had expected...what are the numbers on the msp???'91 Mazda Protege GT/ Completely re-built engine w/.020 head shave, intake/exhaust P&P & 3 angle valve job, 2.25 full custom exhaust, RX-7 AFM, K&N Cone, 18* Timing advance, exhintake cam mod w/Fly'n Miata adjustables, Custom short shifter, CenterForce clutch, lightened flywheel, HAWK pads on all 4, Motegi Racing 8 spoke 16"s w/205/45/ZR16 rubber, VentShade window visors, lower lip spoiler, 4" driving lights w/halo's. MX-3 center console & Black carpet swap w/2 layers dynomat type insulation.

Anothe thing of note, the redline is under-rated. It's 200hp at the wheels. Read it in scc a long time ago, but since it's geared way-high, the 1/4 mile times aren't as impressive as they could be, just fyiDan
