8 vs protege5
Obviously the answer probably isn't as cut and dried as I'd like it to be, but lets assume both cars have equal upgrades. ie, if one has a turbo the other does too.
Which car is faster?
I'm in an ongoing debate with another person and they keep claiming that if they turbo charged their 5 they would be able to smoke my stock 8, even if I also added a charger. He's also got carbon fiber hood and hatch, cold air and did a cat back.

RE: 8 vs protege5
lets start from the stock vs stock, the 8 has 240hp, the 5 has 130hp. If he turboes it it may come in at the stock hp of the 8. You slap the same turbo on the 8 that you just put on the 5 and you have another 110+hp gap, it's just that simple. They're both very close in weight, the 8 is lower and more aerodynamic. the 8 is rwd the 5 is fwd. Simply put the 8 just outclasses the 5 in ever category. He'd be lucky to beat a stock 8 in a turbo 5.
