I beat my Auto TSX with my regular Mazda 3 to 60mph. Those Mazdaspeed3 has more than 100 hp than regular. They are in TL, 330, G35 performance. I have been thinking to trade in my regular 3 with those.

By the time you hit 60mph he's going about 85. Not gonna happen. I think the 'speed3 is one of the best bang-for-the-buck performance values around. And it's a pretty useful hatchback configuration with some nice "luxury" touches -- kudos to Mazda.

2.3L4 Mazda 3 auto is not as quick as a 5AT TSX based on some experiences. I'm not sure about how the manuals compare. M3 speed is one fast car - has a relatively weak chassis but a lot of bang for the buck.

Too bad it has this nasty habit of ripping its motor right off of the motor mounts...

Didn't the newer issue Car and Driver say the Mazdaspeed3 was quicker (and better) than the WRX, GTI, and few of the other turbo 4 bangers?

anyway, 268hp with about as much torque....

I laughed when I read this because the exact thing happened to a MS3 while I was at Lime Rock a few weekends ago. I wish I could find the video of it.

G35 is a much heavier car and probably an automatic.

MS3 is a very fast car, a stock TSX is no match for the MS3's 260+hp in a straight line.

Mazdaspeed 3 does 0-60 around 5.4.

Right around the same as 350Z, WRX, S2000., probably very near a TL-S.

Smokes a TSX, G35, TL.

Gets creamed by a WRX-STI, Lancer EVO.
