AS well as my Black 8 I also have a new MPS 6...your Mazdaspeed6. This is great car...lots of torque and it compares rather well with my mate's S4 Audi. I fitted the RX8 wheels and it looks so factory!

Nice!

I recently drove the Mazdaspeed 6. Very strong.

Yes, I should think the car would be far more impressive if you drove to the dealership in a 1983 Ford LTD. But my wife even liked the car, and she drives an Audi A6 2.7T.

im curious to see how those motors respond to modifications, increased boost, etc.



The biggest reason why I havent touched the wrx, is you need to spend quite a bit on fuel and ecu to even raise the boost a few pounds. The motors just do not last long if you don't.
