Default run with a mazda protege

so me and some friends were riding around town decided to go to the wawa to see if people we know were there (alot of people are usally there) after i was parked for about 5 mins i see this newer Mazda Protege hatchback ride by me reving up. i sit and talk for a while as i leave wawa he was sitting on the other side of the enterance and pulled near me reving up and passed me sure enough we hit a red light once it turns green we both take off i spun forever into second gear blew by him so fast by the time i slowed down there were 4+ car legnths on him and i cut off at 80when i saw how far he was back. i see them turn off and decide to go back to wawa and see if they were headed there sure enough they were i go up to them and ask whats done to it they say its has intake, heads, full exhaust headers etc. it sounded like a turbo but they didnt say that im not sure. i had 4 people plus all my school stuff so i definately had a weight disadvanage considering there were just 2 people in the mazda.

They stopped making Mazda Protege in 2003, so it is not really very new.
I believe the highest performance model only made about 170hp.

Great kill, keep it up, you might find an old chevette to race also.

True, and only the Mazdaspeed had 170hp out of a turbo 2.0. All others were around 140hp or less.

Maybe when you're done clubbing baby seals we can break into the Humans Society and kick the puppies while they sleep.

I ran this kid that was on a Big Wheel one time.
He got me off the line, but then I stopped his pull and ended up putting a
bus length on him (by the time I hit 10 mph).
I had one passenger also, so the added weight slowed me down off the line.










































op,
wtf, seriously, you raced a friggin Protege and posted it and are bragging about the kill.

Unless the mazda was heavily modded, it never stood a chance.

I was thinking that too. Probably something to do with the winter that puts all the fast toys in hibernation.

That could be it. This is the time of year when the people in the southern states are supposed to step it up and come through for us, haha.

Pulled a GT500 thru 1st and part of 2nd! But by the time I got to 3rd he yanked me and put about 3 or 4 busses on me... lol that was my fun *** whoopin for the day... I lucked out cause he spun most of 1st and 2nd but once he got traction I should have just pulled over and handed him $50.00!!! Lol thank god I don't race for money...
