Like everyone has stated, keep it on a track where you have a controlled environment. Regardless if there was no one on the road aside from you and the other fool, you are still endangering yourselves and each other. Tracks are built for safety (e.g. tire barriers, sand traps, etc).....standard public roads are not.

Back in HS, I wrecked my 91 MR2 just 3 months after buying it....guess what? I was street racing. Luckily, no one other than myself was hurt. I could have easily hit someone else and/or broke through the guard rail that I spun into and 40 feet down I could have went. Learn from others, there's a reason why we feel the way we do on this forum.

FYI....A MazdaSpeed 3 with basic bolt-ons like a downpipe, exhaust, and intake with slightly more boost than stock will walk all over an IS 350.

sad but true. basically most turbo cars with basic bolt ons will walk away from the 350

to reply to the thread title....ms3's can easily be flashed to gain some good power. how did you know you are still in 4th when your cluster says 6?

Yeah they are pretty quick cars modded, I barely beat a tuned+bolt on MS3 when my 335i was making around 340whp.

I keep the display on the cluster set to the current gear selection. I think having it in PWR mode may have been a factor too, idk.

Like everyone has stated, keep it on a track where you have a controlled environment. Regardless if there was no one on the road aside from you and the other fool, you are still endangering yourselves and each other.

Anyone know a road course around the DFW area I can use?
