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.

 

friend runs a 13.8 at the quarter with his sport.. bone stock

imagine what it would be like if the car shed 400lbs.. its too heavy

if the choices remains the same next year.. ill be replacin the 6s daily with the speed..

 

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.

 

Have you guys had a chance to test drive the mspeed3? YOU MUST DO IT NOW! Then think about the 6. THe 3 is crazy fast.

 

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

 

the speed3 is heavy for its class too imho... and its fwd

 

yeah i really like that motor, but the 6 does feel heavy and big. its not bad, just be a killer engine in a smaller car

 

It's too bad they don't off S-plan pricing in Canada

 

I'd race one, in the fb even

 

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.
