MAZDA SPEED3 taking corners in Germany

Imagine taking your Ducati über-bike over to the Nürburgring only to have its heels nipped on by a relatively inexpensive front-wheel-drive Japanese hatchback. A front-wheel-drive Japanese hatchback that is, with a turbocharged 2.3-liter DISI MZR engine that spits out 263 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. The Mazda cracks off a 'Ring time of 8 minutes and 39 seconds, which is identical to a Honda S2000 and about where the NSX and Corvette were a decade ago. Also, we really hope this settles once and for all the debate about what can get around corners faster, cars or bikes. And finally, the Mazdaspeed3 is call the Mazda3 MPS over in dirty old cheese-eating Europe.

Take that ya two wheeled bums

Nice handling cars will always win over a motorcycle around corners. Four wheels versus two. There was a Top Gear episode that compared a Porsche and a decently fast motorcycle and the Porsche owned it.

I'M OFFENDED!
When it's not under construction or swarmed by homeless people. I'd never run 94 anyhow. No cops persay, but you'd be better of speeding down a gravel road in a Radio Flyer wagon than trying to run that peice of garbage.

Would you boys like some pretty little flowerbeds planted alongside your raceway as well? Maybe complimentary tea and biscuits after the race? :p
