do you mean to TT the MS protege? I hope not...

I love the MP5... fun car to drive, but not head jerking speed thats for sure...
0-60 times are nice for that Protege. There is a new bigger Miata coming out too from what I hear. I do like Mazda 6 as well. I have had really good experiences with Mazda. Their body shop here in town does all the body work for us through USAA.

My g/f has a 2002 Protege ES.. Good car. The MazdaSpeed Protege is basically the same car with a 4psi turbo and some handling parts.. Problem is, they did nothing to beef up the motor, so it's not going to be easy to simply turn up the boost, or the motor will grenade. And it's pretty tuned from the factory, so there's not going to be alot of ways to make it faster.
However, for the price, you can't really complain. A loaded ES tips the scales at $18K. And for an extra $2K, you get the turbo, exhaust, and suspension upgrades!

Same problem, buying a house is taking priority now. But once it's done, a new Mazda 6 will line one side of the garage. (Of course, a little TH turbo magic might infect the ZX2 by then as well...)
