True, my brother run 15.5 with just an intake in his SVT BUT I did see a girl at the track running 15.7 to 16 in a stock M3 at cayuga....I like the look of the SVT.....

The SVTF wasn't made to be a 1/4 mile car, but I'd be happy with a 15.7 all stock (this is so off topic).

Saw my first Mazdaspeed3 today. Parked at a house right by my work. Nice looking car. A little more aggressive looking than a standard 3, but not too aggressive. Lots ALOT better in person that on paper or online. It's in the nice bright red too.

Still haven't seen one of those MS3's yet, but I do know that Edwards Mazda in Pembroke has had more than one MS6 in stock over the last few months. Also, when my dad and I were at Oakland Ford last weekend, the salesman took us back into the shop where there was an 06 Ford GT sitting there...all black on black, NO racing stripes, and with the FR500 wheels on it. Simply the most beatiful car I've ever seen, especially without the racing stripes...looked fast sitting still...

I'll have to see what the MS3 is all about, but I know that there's a lot of people around here that think the regular M3's and M3 Gt's are superior to my car, etc etc...

Oh yeah, and I know that people shopping for a MS3 aren't also looking at Mustangs, but you did ask what cars offer that amount of performance for 30K....the Mustang GT does, and then some...
Bleeding Ford Blue again...
