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.

hahahahaha dude i had a friend with a mx6 gt with a tbird hybrid on it o_O lol thats great
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.

thats the kia one right?
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.
