Rednop1 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I was at the factory today collecting some part and got talking to Simon and was offered a ride in the new sport 250 and i didnt need asking twice Anybody that know me knows that i'm a massive s2000 engine package fan so i was interested in how the two engines compare. My test pilot was Mark walker on stepping into the car the first thing i noticed was the taller windscreen and side screen which have been taken from the sport turbo car and got to be honest they get the thumbs up from me and also the new digi dash package massive improvement over the old digi dash.We left the factory driving through Kingswinford and one thing I noticed straight away was how quiet the new mazda diff was and the car performed as it should nice and smooth,The biggest difference from the s2000 motor is the induction and turbo noise but you get used to it,We got out on to the open road and the go faster pedal was pressed and oh my god its awesome the power is instant not one bit of turbo lag got to be honest I cannot believe how instant the power is and it delivers the power so smooth and sounds great. I'm sure if the car had wings it would take off.But if you have one of these cars on order or are thinking about ordering one the first option you should be buying is the bigger brake package trust me you will need it. The biggest question is do I prefer this over the Honda motor I think I do as there is a massive potential to get 300bhp very easy out of this motor and I just love the power delivery It was just a good job that I had left my debit card at home Big thanks to Simon and Mark you left me with a big smile on my face all the way home thanks guys 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I think these could be a cracking car and good for touring or fast blast I thought Simon would have memorised your card by now ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msisleman Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Sounds great. I was looking over that car a few weeks ago when I picked some bits up, the 2.0l Ecoboost really fills the engine bay! I was surprised at how tightly packaged it all was. Would be interesting to find out the weight that the demo car comes out at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
