Mazdaspeed 6 UPDATE + Check pg 5 for detailed PICS!

[crossbow]

I doubt it. Mazda loves to use fuel. Can't wait to see the vids when I get home.

Remember...we want the A/F ratio's to be ultra rich (bad). We want the boost to drop off as the rpm's climb. We want the stock wheels to be rediculously heavy.

Because that means there is huge room for improvement!!!! (thumb)

I'm very jealous right now. car looks and sounds very nice.

If I hadn't just renovated the house, I'd be seriously looking at it. It's exactly what I have been looking for, with the exception of some cosmetics. Hopefully they make more in 2007, and with better rims. Unfortunately my current dealer situation might force me to go back to Honda, in which case a SiR. and anyone that mentions the cavy and civic in the same sentence for interior quality is a nut case.



Enjoy it, and keep the media coming.

Oh, are there HID's on this? Canadian version of course.

Man, you are really keeping us waiting for more pics.

Hope you all like so far...LOL! And for all who were waiting I hammered it a few times today before returning to break-in mode. JFK this thing is quick. My wife's best friend used to have a WS6 Trans-am. That thing was friggin' loud and accelerated like a bat outta hell. This car really reminds me of that car, but without all the noise. It really accerates more like a V8 than a 2.3L I4. The size of the car gives it that feel as well. I friggin' love it!!!

Rainman: does the MS6 come with a boost gauge ? Also any chance you can up the boost with a boost controller ? maybe to 20psi

Alas, no boost guage.

Adjustable Xenon HIDs baby! Those things are bright and down right badass! It is crazy how much of a difference they make over conventional halogens.

Rainman,

I appreciate it. Some owners had complained about the buldge, but from the photos it looks unobtrusive, so photos would be a welcome addition. You'll probably get hundreds of photo requests in the next few weeks .

Btw do the rear seats have pockets?

I've taken those pics for you Crossbow, but they are on my phone not my camera. I'll either get them off my phone later today or take more on my camera.

Forgot to check the seats in the back, but I'll do that at the same time as the pics.

I am down right jealous and I have a RX-8 and I am still jealous. I am very impressed with this performance sport sedan. The brakes are massive too. some heavier SUV's have smaller brakes than that, much smaller. They sure didnt cut any corners anywhere on this car.

 

[LRHK]

(cool) I want to see one of these in person... my dealership said the one showing up there is still 2 - 3 weeks away

 

[Killer]

sweet car.

 

[crossbow]

Mikey,

Your brakes are actually 0.12 inches larger. lol! (rx8 mtx). I thought the MPS 6 was using the 8 brakes, but they aren't, they are a slightly different size...so no easy snagging.

That car is so rediculous awesome looking .

anyone that mentions the cavy and civic in the same sentence for interior quality is a nut case.

Anyone who thinks that the 05 and older Civic has a high interior quality is brainwashed with Honda propaganda.

 

[CHICO2003]

not propoganda dude... pure FACT!! if I wasn't pressed for time (ie. lazy) I'd do some digging. if we can't trust publications like consumer reports (and to a lesser extent) the various car and drivers/motor trends/ etc. of the world... we're basically left trying to make these types of conclusions oureselves. (not something any of us could truly pull off by simply sitting and/or driving in a car for a few minutes) Bottom line: honda, overall, has always rated very highly in NVH and other quality categories.

That said, I've read that they've taken a bit of a turn with the 06 model. this is pretty surprising but, according to the 'experts', it still doesn't put them into the dumbestic market depths.

it's gonna be a bloodbath between the 06 civic and mazda3... personally the mazda looks to be more upscale and 'bmw-ish' so that's where my vote goes.
