theyre very weak but theyre supposed to handle pretty damn awesome......i read in a magazine they said i wish the engine was as strong as the chasis .....w/ some go fast mods the car should be taking names at autoxs ......just wait til they develop some kind of turbo kit or supercharger for it that will be somthin cool!

They can turn faster sloalm(sp?) times than a vette. But cant get outta their own way in a straight line. I prefer the Protoge 5 sport wagon myself. Coolest looking wagon around for the money. Looks like a baby IS300 wagon.
I think they are rated at 130HP. Rumor mill has it that they will be recieving more oomph realy soon from Mazda after that...I bet they will replace the civic Si and import tuner favorites. Watch...youll see.
At any rate the MP3 (which no longer is produced)or the regular Protoge 5 would make a great autocross racer!
