Default First Kill mazda 3

Ok yeah yeah I know nothing special... but you dont know this guy. Were in the army together went thru ait together... been on base a year and ahalf and he does nothing but talk talk talk talk. See he is a mazda 3 09 and has done nothing but talk about it how good it is how quick it is ect ect. Well I have an 06 monte lt bought it late last year. And the talking has translated to how his car was better and faster and how he could beat me in a race yada yada yada. Well today he finally got a chance to put where his gas pedal where his mouth was. We were at a stop light no traffic and he pulled up beside me, and first off he was trying to read the lights and instead of going when it turned green he started to pull out in a roll to the green. Well what ever he did that and the light turns green, I take my foot off the break I had it at about 2000 rpm before the light changed and by the time I was at 15 miles per hour I was already past him by 30 I was maybe 5 car lengths. By the time I was at 50 * which was the pre determined speed which was the speed limit so nothing illegal*. He was like 15 car lengths back. I know I know its a mazda 3... but it was his mazda 3. He hasent said anything a bout my car since. Hell I hear that 0-30 for this car sucks... he would of been really down hearted if we started at 40-80

Hi `James, a win is a win

Below is infor on the Mazda 3

2011 Mazda MAZDASPEED3

In performance testing, the Speed 3 went from zero to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds quick, ... Though the 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 itself hasn't been crash tested, ... 3 is one of the best-handling and most entertaining hot hatches on a winding road. ...

It is just a mazda 3 I highly doubt if it was a 3 I would of stood up... tho a kidspace said the mazda 3 speed 0-60 was like 6.3 secs.... so it might not of been too far off lol.
