Wrx Vs Mazdaspeed Protege

**MazSpeedPro** · 02-20-2003 10:07 AM

I caught up with a burgandy WRX , on the 118 freeway in LA county .
I drive a orange mazdaspeed and we decided to play alittle. Recently I had gotten a speeding ticket and was afrraid I would get another.
Anyway we drove side by side for a bit , accelerating back and forth, until the WRX had to exit. I gave him the thumbs up, and he returned it!

My question is,
Does anyone know of a burgandy WRX in the Los Angeles area, with exaust?

Not your bad. We don't expect everyone to know what Subaru names the colors. I don't know the Mazda color names. And since you took the time to join up over here, I just figured I would give you the heads up. Also starting that other thread in the correct (location) forum was a good idea.

I also saw a Sedona Red Wagon on the 170N on my way home and we played a little onto the 5 FWY, he slowed down at about 120. I was in a Black Nissan Sentra Spec V with signs on it

The wagon was lowered, had nice dark wheels and a throaty exhaust, sounded sweet!

Titanium Gray MSP? Wow. That looks GREAT. Do you have a link to some pics? I've always liked the MazdaSpeed Protoge.

<recruiting mode>turboge, have you checked out www.thevboard.com ? I used to have a SpecV before my Maxima. I am a moderator over there (MaXxBooost)</recruiting mode off>

Hey 2003WRX,

Haven't seen you post for a while. Just curious, why did you get rid of your Spec V for a Maxima? Obviously the Maxima has more room and on the roll go but don't you miss the fun-to-drive aspect of the Spec V?

I guess the more I think about it, you sort of had two of the same kind of cars. Both are great twisty road cars. I suppose the Maxima takes care of your practical needs (ie, more room) while you WRX satisfies your weekend thrills on the canyon roads?

ok im still looking for a Sonoma Red WRX,
any takers?

Hey man, I wanted a bigger/fancier car for a daily driver. I bought a completely loaded Maxima SE 6-speed with leather, etc. Its actually quite a bit faster than the SpecV. And it handles nicely for such a big car. The SpecV was fun in the twisties, but just wasnt all that comfortable. I'm really enjoying the Max, its such a nice car...
