Lol, the Mazda Speed3 only makes 28hp & 44ft-lbs tq more than an s52 but the car weighs about 300lbs more than an s52 swapped ti. Throw an M50 manifold and a custom tune on the s52 and the power is matched. Not to mention rwd vs. fwd. The speed3 does have a 6 speed tranny, but the 5 speed is suffice for the s52.
To each his own I guess, if you want to go through the hassle of reconfiguring a fwd engine and tranny to fit into a rwd car, more power to ya
