G37s vs Speed 3 what you think is better

Hey guys, so my friend just got a Speed 3 09. Pretty slick car. Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think is a better car over all, yeah I know it's like not in the " same" class but what are the pros and cons for each ?.

Just was curious and wanted to know. In terms of horse power you think the MS3 can overtake the G37 ? .

I assume you have a G37. Why not try it out down a highway?

Really? You want to get into a straight-line power dick-swinging contest? Planning to do 200km/h+ on Highway 1 with buddy in the Gallardo and Alpina B7 at night? I'll bite though.

G37:
+Luxury car with smooth power delivery
+Decent styling
-Not really practical if you want to haul shit around

MS3:
+Practical with the hatch
+Good power for the class it's in
-Tricky to increase power without supporting modifications (MS3 owners please confirm, I've read that the DISI engines are very sensitive to upgrades without Cobb AP, etc.)

I wouldn't underestimate the Speed 3. With little work, it can destroy a G37s with little effort.

I'm old, so my pick goes to Speed 3. I need space to haul shit around and not some gang banger East Van thug faux-pas baller G37s bullshit.

I can't stand the G35/37's, so out of sheer hatred, I'll say that the 3 will take it.

thanks guys for the suggestion. I really appreciate the breakdown of the two. But I thought these Mazda are like POS cars... Like I thought I bought the fastest car in this class. A lot of thought went into picking this g37.like I can mod mine to and I think it might be comparable or better no?. At all the trolls who didn't take this thread seriously. Come at me brother let's take it to the track.

That's really offensive. I'm not a east van thug. I'm really offended by that. I'm just at school and I love cars.

Speed3s are not POS lol. They have a beast top end. Check out some videos on youtube, and you'll see how hard they pull, especially against g35/37s.
