mazdaspeed 6 is pretty quick, drove one around the block





Faster than a 1992 MX-6 GT with a T-Bird hybrid on it? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

yeah mazdas been real innovative lately and has brought up there image significantly. I think mazda is going strong and is doing much better in sales than ford. Hope to see a Mazdaspeed 8.



Theres not to much fuss about the mazdaspeed6 i think it was made to compete with the evo and sti. AWD turbo 4 banger lol



jason NYC



except it is heavier, slower and doesn't handle as well. I think mazda was going for the audi a4, g35x and the awd bimmer crowd.

People laugh but that F2 motor has a torque spike that will crush that poor Madza tranny. I'll admit the old 6's weren't crazy fast but they were fun to drive. AWS and electronic suspension along with a turbo, if it had been RWD it would have been great.



COsbourne on here bastardized an old 1st gen 7 with an MX6 motor, that thing was great.

You ever see the FE3 motors?

VICS system (similar to VTEC) is fun with a turbo but most people shitcan the intake. Fun little 2 litre.



A guy I used to talk to had a nice Miata with one, 450 RWHP TII tranny and rear.

Yah Kia aquired the motor from Mazda during a bad time in the early 90's. It powered the early model Sportage and was detuned ALOT. They were smokin bastards.

no ms8 while they make ms3 profits....ms3 should help eat up low sales of ms6 (as already said, poor handling kept it from the sti, evo)
