My mom's mazda (03 Protoge 5 2.0) is similar, its not really fast, especially compared to some of the shenanigans I used to help with (383 in an S10 anyone?) but it will still surprise you if you think you can just take its lunch money

My 95 f150 with a 5.0 and 210k might hit 65 up a hill but it gets the bikes there and the trash to the dump.
mines a 5.0 as well, its not that slow, but with the 3.55's it doesn't like hills.
Yah, it was funny, I was coming home from the smog station and my other daughter took my scion to the dentist. We by chance met at the main intersection to a long highway and I told her lets run um. It was kind of fun stomping my foot through the floor boards. 
I had her for the first 10 ft because of my light skills but it was over right after that!
not as fun with automatics is it?
Or a Honda - we have had great luck with Honda Accords.That is why I buy Toyota! Once you do, you'll never stop.
No......not unless you have access to your own machining equipment to grind the conrods, dont know which ones but are 4 of them that wont clear camshaft w/o this done, then you have balancing issues. and then there's special pistons (short skirt) that are required.... then hopefully you find the heads with 2" inch intake and 1.6" exhaust valves without buying reman....so by my standards not cheap. never built one of these but know some race guys that know guys..........

Got to hold all that stuff and clearance a block for the H beam rods Sunday. 1800 for the balanced assembly at shop prices. Uses a 400 small block. Pistons I could build xr600's from. Seemed cheap to me. All internally balanced. Heads are easy :-)
