autoweek has an article on the MZSPD6 this week... It quotes ~400lbs over a Std Mazda6.. All that turbo stuff, PLUS the AWD system adds up to a lot of weight..

[Da 6]

turbo couldn't have add that much unless they dug up some old non ball bearing t3.

 

[AzMz3]

3,589 lbs.

That sums it all right there.....Its A Porker!

 

[Da 6]

yep and everyone said they wanted to be a hatch. Good thing they didn't make us one too how much did the ausie speed 6 hatch weigh?

 

[KpaBap]

holy crap that's at least 600 pounds too heavy to be exciting

not to mention it weighs more than a miata and a half (rofl)

 

[Da 6]

wonder how it is in the snow being that heavy?

 

[Mikey444]

the heavier the better for snow driving as long as you got some winter rubber

 

[AzMz3]

the heavier the better for snow driving as long as you got some winter rubber

Yeah just attach a plow to the front and make everyone in the town happy! (cool)

 

[Da 6]

get razzi to make a snow plow kit just like the one they made for the dodge neon

Be like the jaguar comercial have a EVO and WRX folowing behind it with passengers saying "Stay in his tracks" (poke)

 

[Mikey444]

lol, but seriously the heavier the better when in snow driving conditions as long as you got winter rubber.

 

[Da 6]

did your non speed 6 come with winter rubber stock?

 

[Mikey444]

nope came with the stock michelins that I might wear them to bits in 1 day in summer. P.S. they are awesome tires for drifting

 

[Da 6]

yeah I know...they need to be replaced from only 1 sanctioned event!

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

I'll hold my final judgement for when it's actually here...cause I've heard alot of things about those 'stated' numbers......
