Mazda 3 MPS hit the Nürburgring to tackle some bikes laying down an impressive time of 8 minutes and 39.66 seconds. Certainly does track down some vehicles chasing the bikes.  Cheers, Miyagi

Considering the VXR is less powerful its something Mazda would be not happy with. There for the VXR has a much more balanced chassis then the MPS3.

Just trying to defend my own, but you guys have 100ish kg less then us, imo the MPS is softer then the VXR our limitors in 1-2-3 gears cant be turned off  , it sucks cause its the way it is from factory. Also our chassis are identical to the XR5/RS chassis will infact they are the same lol, also same size brake package just using Mazda Pads and rotors. James
