My Wishes are in order.
1. Better Motor Mounts!!!
2. Better IPOD Integration
3. MP3 CD Changer Included
4. Maybe some tweaking to the ECU and such.
5. A little more Sound Isolation.
Thats about it, oh and 50 more HP.LOL

How about all wheel drive along with that 50 extra horses.

 

[gsrtype1]

exactly awd with 50 to 75 more horeses would make this already awsome car unbeileivable!

 

[bushrat]

All of the above and sunroof!

 

[ch77]

I want one with NO stereo, stiffer springs & rear wheel drive. Oh, and a shorter shifter, and about 300 hp. Yes.

 

[daonly1around]

RWD, 300 WHP, of course independent rear, no stereo, no interior, except full roll cage tubed chasis, once racing seat dash with only nessicary gauges, 16x12 forged magnisium wheels in the back and 16x9 up front, lexan windows, no driver window, just a net, no door panels, fuel cell....



meh, F*** all that, just bring one in white water pearl.

 

[sierra248]

Was just kidding bout the 50 more HP. AWD would bring this into a higher price range. For 08, I'd be happy with just
1. Better Ipod Integration
2. CD\MP3 Capability
3. Stronger Motor Mounts.

I Think there is a chance for a new stereo for 08 as Mazda is falling behind with IPOD and MP3 capabilitys, they need to at least catch up with the Civic Si's 06 System. The Motor mounts will probably be at least tight!!!! That change I imagine will eventually be a TSB anyway for 07's. ECU tuning to give power to redline be nice too, and 225 Section tires, those last few probably won't happen.

At Least Waiting till August I can read up and see how the new WRX is, It is god ugly so it better be a great car for that to sway me from the Speed3. Also maybe Honda will up the ante with a Type R, though I doubt it till at least late 07-08, maybe???? Thats really all im cross-shopping, GTI is to soft and expensive and I hate the sentra and mini. I been driving sentra sr20de's for the last 14 yrs, both bought brand new a 94 and 2000 and am tired of nissan so the Z is out. Got rambling there sorry.

Hi, I work for a Mazda dealership and I can tell you we have one right now. They come with the same WHP/LBS-TQ to the flywheel, but actually put more to the ground than the 07's. We also are offering a tuning solution package from Mazda that gives you 40hp/60tq more to the wheels with a plug and play for just $550.00; if you want the package under warranty, it will cost you $750.00. If you want to apply it to the 07's, it will cost you $950.00 with warranty included as well.




























...haha NOT. i dont work for mazda bitches. just yanking your chains

That was fabulous.

I'm gonna be a sad panda if they kick the pants off the 2007. I hope it's just like the original mazdaspeed refresh, little changes like body work, and interior changes.

I just ordered an 08 Mazdaspeed tonight

Dealer entered it in the Mazda system earlier this evening. However there were no differences between 07-08. I ordered a Silver GT with everything except Sirius. Supposedly the car is being built in July, though the info you received from Mazda suggests an earlier build date to make it into dealers by August.

I can't wait, though it's a little bittersweet because I love my black 3S 4D a lot. I'm trying to focus on the added flexibility of a hatch and 100+ hp more (burnout)
