LIKE A BOSS!

So tell us, is it everything you dreamed it would be? How does the handling compare to you're pimped out MZ3? When you put your foot down on the highway, does it actually do something?

I haven't really put my foot down. Car only has 40 miles on it. But yah it has power and handles nice. My MZ3 was more nimble but the ride was harsher. I can feel the extra weight in front with the MS3. I may just put Swift springs, lighter wheels, wider tires, a Tripoint swaybar and a be done with the suspension. When I get some more miles on it and the engine is broken in and I'm smoother on the clutch I'll see what this baby can do. The MS3 has a lot of potential from what I can see already.

Exactly there was no place to go modding the MZ3. When you have enough equity in your MZ3 I makes sense to switch out to the MS3. Not before.

What kind of deal did they dealer give you trade in with all your mods? that's the problem I've been having. Dealer offered me 12k stock or 13.5k with all my mods. Both were insulting offers

Trade in was $17,300 for my car and all the mods. I had to give them the stock intake and the stock springs too. All I have left is the stock struts and shocks .

That's pretty much the only reason I could afford the Speed. If it was lower I couldn't have done it.
