Best I ran was a 15.3 at 91mph.

Not too shabby I don't think. I'm pretty sure I can get this sucker down into the 14's for cheap. As of right now, the only performance thing I have on it is an AEM CAI, and a grounded throttle body. The throttle is electronically controlled on this car, no cables whatsoever, and people have noticed better throttle response if they grounded it to something. Mazdaspeed has a "earthing kit" which consists of a ground for this, and upgraded cables for the alternator and what not. I didn't feel like spending $200 on it though, so I spent $3 on a battery cable using my discount at AutoZone and just grounded the throttle body. This was with a full tank of gas too, so, could probably loose a tenth if I ran it near empty. I figure by March I'll have a borla exhast on it, a header, and some other doodads.
