  • 1994 PGT vs late model Mazda Protege

    Not that it's really fair, but a fellow mazda owner decided to pull a ricer flyby. I caught up with him at a stop sign, and we both turned on to the highway. He floored it first, and so did I. I walked him reeeaaaalllyyyy easily, almost surprisingly so. I let off at 70 (I'd say it was 15-70 race), and he did the classic ricer flyby. Fat chick in the passenger seat, and some little kid driving with one of those stupid flat brimmed hats. I guess fat chicks and hats deduct hp, unlike the NOS and injen stickers he had. He blew by me doing 100+, and honestly, I just didn't feel like trying to shame him again.

    **EDIT -

    I just checked my trunk. I have most of an office in there. A filing cabinet's worth of paperwork, computer, some extra clothes, etc. I'd say I tacked on a solid 150lbs onto the car. I was wondering why I only got 325 to the tank.....

                  I average 350-365 before I run out of go juice.

                  I guess I have a pretty light foot.

                    even if i baby the throttle i only get 275ish to the tank. but i drive mostly in a fairly small town. i took a trip to PA and went 200 miles on less than half a tank, so i get very good highway mpg but terrible city mpg. i usually average 23.5 mpg in the area i drive in.

                    gotta love them ricer fly bys

                      nice run. a late model MAZDASPEED protege would have given you a better run, but not a base.

                      and how do you guys only get like 275-300... i used to get around 360-370 before i needed a fill up in my '95 GT... and i would still have like a gallon left.
