DAMN THEY ARE FAST! I got to drive one this past weekend for the 1st time for some longer times. The test drives do not do it justice.





FAST! we lost to a IS350 sport packaged car... we were ahead from 60 to 120 mph, but from 120 to 145 mph we were behind by 3/4 car length.



I love how the car does not lurch/buck with dipping in and out of throttle in traffic. It's mint. I do wish it was a smaller car. it feels kinda big.



It's just awesome. Too bad I'm not in the market for a new car.



AWESOME. It will rape a rx8. It will beat more than 50% off all the rx7s on this forum...



AWESOME.

i test drove the speed6 on road atlanta at full speed. the ****** car does haul *** but i do believe that if you put an rx8 or 7 on the same track the rotas will have faster lap times by far. the rx7s and 8s corner speed is way quicker ya know. anyways i do love that speed6 myself and that car does make a great daily.

drove them both, the speed 3 is a quick car but i am very unhappy with the ecu droppin boost off 1000 rmp before redline . i did a prototype 3" full exhaust on a speed 3. only netted 15hp on the dyno though. i made the dp all the way to muffler. but gettin back to the speed6, it actualy is faster then the 3 , its just heavy and you can feel it too. but look at the times the 6 beats the 3

I seriously thought about it as a replacement for the WRX. What Mazda needs to do, is throw that engine in a RWD sedan or a miata.
