Looks faster than stock, but then again so does any car rippin by busy traffic on the street. I doubt it is under 2800lbs. Lame vid!!

No way does that car only weigh 1700lbs. I'd be more apt to believe 2700-2900lbs.

I'm highly doubting the whole "fastest subie in so cal"... took him that long to get to 50mph..?.. and he stayed in it for quite some time and barely passed that mail truck. his gears didn't seem to go all that fast. I know I don't have that much time between the shifts!

and the whole 1,700 lbs is BS for sure

1. he must have said 115 not 150. there is no way he hit 150 in 3rd or 4th or even 5th for that matter.

2. douchebaggery running like that on city streets, in traffic, during the day, with evidence (cam).

3. 1700 lbs.... LOL!!!! lmao. still laughing. *giggling* ok, nuf said.

4. "detuned" why would you "dt" and then make a vid rolling around all proud of hitting 150 in second gear. hmm - somthings is ascue.

5. put him on the track vs. The Crawford STI with TF driving. *game over*

Dude, if you didn’t notice, mazdaspeed92806 is the person that put up the video.

So, just because we built the car means we are responsible for what the owner says about it?

For what its worth, the car weighed around 2800lbs when we finished the build
