Dark Thunder.... MazdaSpeed 3.... from my guy in NY...

To me, wagons are wagons, from small to large, from low & slow to sleek & a beast... this here is sleek and  a beast...  after a mishap he had with his engine, and 3 months later after a FULL engine rebuild, he got his car back that is now a BEAST...  no numbers now, but the word is about the 290-330 WHP and TQ range...  the vid is the break in dyno run, the car didn't hit full throttle, i'm quite impress...

The life style...

"We have become part of something much more complicated then you will or I will ever fully comprehend. We build more then just cars...we build friendships, we build futures, we build our dreams. We drive our cars low and hold our heads high because we have an unwritten and unspoken agreement that we will live life to the fullest and never call victim to 'the norm.' Others laugh at us when we spend money, hours, days, weeks, months, and years working on our cars, but yet they shake our hands when we are done."
