The 2001-2002 Mazda (Protege) MP3 or the later Mazdaspeed Protege would be a great addition due to it’s amazing handling characteristics. The 140hp MP3 sports a nice aero package that is reflective in the later year cars. The 170hp turbocharged Mazdaspeed Protege was a riot as well.
2001 Mazda MP3 (140hp, 2.0L Inline-4)
2003 Mazdaspeed Protege (170hp, 2.0L Inline-4 Turbo)
Motorsports Fun Fact: The non-turbo Protege was campaigned in SPEED World Challenge Touring Car and sported a built 2.0L 4-cylinder screamer with 240hp and an 8500+rpm rev limiter. Such a great chassis. Engines needed rebuilds often, but put the hurt on a lot of competitors with bigger engines.
