Default Bolt On GTO vs Built Mazdaspeed3

At a carmeet last night, a guy with a speed3 asked if I wanted to get some runs in... I know him through a few of my buddies..

He said it was built motor, big turbo, pump gas, email tune (no dyno numbers)...

I found out through a buddy that knows him, it has a gt30r turbo, but he couldn't verify if it was a built motor.

Mazda blew his stock motor a few months back racing a cammed G8.

We agreed to 50+ mph rolls , Mazda owners request..

Race 1...55-100

Race 2... 35-130, my car spun hard, ECU cut throttle then got back on it again (you can hear it/when the Mazda pulls out almost a car)... I reel him in ... 130, I'm next to him boutta pull away... We shut it down..

It's not a built motor. Just pistons and rods. Plus you got the jump on ever run we had. I let out when I hit 120 and coasted. You told me you didn't want to do anything less then a 50 roll cause you would spin. Also I was looking for a race and so were you so we ran. So I was like do you want to and you said yea. So we went out and ran. When you post about a run make sure you put all the info in the post. You knew when I said was done to the car. I have nothing to hide.

descriptions are pretty good... seems like the mazda had the hit on the second pull. Tough to say but both look pretty similar but I believe the GTO would pull away up top.

If that stock (?) STI held you guys off you're both slow!

My buddy was standing right there with me when you said "built motor/big turbo" ... I even put in the op that I couldn't verify that it was built..

You walked up && said , do you have your car here... I said yes... You then asked if I wanted to get some runs in... I said sure.

I asked where you wanted to run && what rolls you were thinking... You said anything over 50, I agreed, because anything lower && we'd spin.. You && subie were the ones that slowed down to 35ish , not me...

My car is auto so it takes a second to downshift so I do nail it a little early... I'll say it was a jump the first race.. That's fine ... But the second race, even if I did get the jump.. I started a half car back..

&& to your "let off at 120 && coasted" .. The second half of that video I'm reeling you in once I get traction..

Something's not right here...... Not a chance in hell an "exhaust only" sti would have stayed anywere close to you from a roll if A: your cars running properly or b: it really is exhaust only... My 04 m6 pulled them cars bumpers off from a DIG when it was stock.....

I understand that lol. The guy with the subi commented above and says its exhaust only, and if that's the case then there is an issue there lol

The Subi is just exhaust lol. I will agree with the last run. But what about the first one you were ahead of me. Also what about the other two races you didn't post up. We did 4 back to back races 50-120. Show the other races or what you don't want to so them? Cause the first two you jumped out in me and I reals you in and passed you. I did say built motor sorry but it's just pistons and rods. If you want to do this again I have a gopro to film with. Same race just make sure the first few get recorded.
