the ms3 should come stock with 8 motor mounts so when half fail the motor is still in the car

anyways.. You might as well compare dyno sheets in the parking lot if your going to race from a roll. Your giving yourself an unfair advantage by racing from a roll

That is the most absurd statement I have ever heard


It takes ALOT of skill to launch a car well. Anyone can slam gears from a roll but not everyone can launch


Decent races tho!!!!

turbo tc's are def not slouches

dyno numbers doesnt confirm how fast the car is, just how much power the car makes lol.. cars perform differently on different power bands and some have advantage at certain points..

race from dig proves
1.low end power/tq
2. traction- how good are the tires, lsd, suspension, awd/rwd/fwd
3. driver's launching skill
4. Top end depends on situation

race from roll
1. proves low-mid to top end power

Waaa? They are not that fast. Stage 0 tC's can keep up with a stock MS3 if not beat one.

thats hard and expensive. Around chicago driving around cones in a parking lot just doesn't do it for me. Wish there were actual tracks here. Only one I can think of is a private country club deal and EXPENSIVE.
Well, you can look at the flip side. Crashing into a interstate medium cost how much? Going to the drag strip is $15 dollars where I live.

Yeah, I know, I street race all the time. Track is about an hour away from me. Wish it was open year round like some of you guys that are lucky enough to get the privilege.

Loving the call out though, and going in and being the fastest still. tC 1 World 0...

Again, they are not that fast. Stage 0 beat one in the 1/8th mile drag strip. I was there, my boy Louis had a Stage 0 at the time.

Built in Traction Control is not for launching at the drag strip. It's for when it's raining outside, and you loose grip. Traction Control for the most part kills power to the motor so that you can regain traction. This is the way it works on my 350z and for the most part works the same way on other cars.

If you noticed in that video the MS3 he raced was NOT stock it had more boost, Intake and Exhaust. See why I Thought he would get beat......

My friend ran a 13.1 on 18psi intake with his MS3. And he WHOOPED me everytime I raced him (i was on 7psi)

the slower MS3 in the vid (MS3 B) and myself raced a few times
me with my stock exhaust on
and him with just an intake
it wasnt even close
even from a dig
ms3's are pretty fast for the price, but aftermarker parts are almost always better
