"What happens when you take the best-handling, front-drive sedan on the market..."

I don't know but I'm pretty sure its not the 6...
And they keep calling it Front-Drive. Augh.
They know crap from poo, but thats about it.

 

[FrigginGLI]

Not possible.

 

[vindication]

You get the fastest car in this class (0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds) and one of the sweetest front-drivers on the market.

maybe someone should tell them that it's AWD

 

[vindication]

damn was beaten to it. *shakes fist*

This guy doesn't know how to read properly. He's writing an article on cars he's never even seen. He has the chart for the AJAC testing in front of him and attempting to quote numbers from it except he can't match the lines up. He's quoting 0-100kmh times from the 80-120kmh line AND hes got the wrong numbers for the vehicles....LOL

MS6 4.3sec
SRT-8 4.4sec
SS 4.6sec

Those are the 80-120 times for the vehicles. 0-100kmh times were:

MS6 5.5sec
SRT-8 5.3sec
SS 6.3sec

damn you canucks. hah

 

[J dragon]

That's still impressive though....We have a chance at SRT-4, and 8's now

 

[onedeath]

On the highway the SRT4's are not a problem.

Raced one today from 55, got 1.5 cars off the bat and then kept on pulling until he let off. We got upto abot 90+, had about 5 cars on him.

I still think that the factory published HP #'s for Speed6 are low.

 

[neit_jnf]

take it to a dyno!

 

[onedeath]

I have some ins at Mustang Dyno, which I live very close too.

If I get a chance I will see if I can get it on a 4wd dyno.

I'll post if it happens soon.

mazda made a real competitor this time around

 

[Rainman]

So where are all the nay-sayers now!!!

[Antoine]

Wow...the MS6 is just getting sweeter and sweeter...(2thumbs)...The 4 second range should be easily within reach once you guys start exchanging info and attract aftermarket support!

 

[Rainman]

s***, here is all the data. Check out the performance category at the bottom. Only 1 car out of 61 (as previously stated by Mazda3) quicker than the MS6....and it only carries 2 people.

[colin949]

thats way sick
this might have to be my next car if i become a rich girl, or i was a rich girl na na na like the gwen stefani song haha

 

[colin949]

even though i am guy

Sorry...I don't believe that pdf for a second. The braking distances are all horribly off. Either someone mixed up the data, or the testing wasn't done properly. And if the braking distances are questionable, that makes me wonder about the acceleration data.

Aussie reviewers are getting closer to the low 6 seconds in the 0-100 km/h and 0-60 times. (Same gearing, +70F ambient, -20 bhp). Those times seem alot more realistic given mazda's estimates. (also low 14's in the 1/4)

They need a second pdf to explain their testing procedures, because the data in this little blurb doesn't match up with the rest of the reviewing community.
