Battle of the Imports @ M.I.R. July 15

Anyone else racing? I know alot of you guys are makin some kick *** power now. I'll be running the car for the first time at high boost.. And with a STOCK tranny! PPG dog box will be out of the car getting a new upgraded output shaft. In the meantime I bought a brand new stock tranny. We'll see if I can blow that up...lol...Hope to see some of you guys racing.

Make sure you have your 4 wheeler close to tow it back to the trailer!

Don't know where you got your info, but try $2000. Ray Crowe told me it has all the upgrades that Mazda has done over the years too, so we'll see....

I got the info from my local Mazda dealer when a buddy of mine was looking into getting a new one. That's what they quoted me on the phone. The guy asked me if I was sitting down before he told me how much it was going to be.

It's good to know that they are really only $2000 new. That's much better.

I want to come but it's about 6-7 hours away from where I am and with a trailer, even longer! A few of my buddies might come out there with a high hp honda.

Ernie back to where we started Its not going to make it to the end of the track.
Ok Place your bets
How many passes will it make on the stock tranny? or better yet will it make one pass?
I am going with 300 feet! Because it will coast that far when it breaks
No Brap,Brap--but Clunk Clunk

Hell, Ari makes more power than I do and he runs the stocker. I'll be fine.
No worries mate!
