What?? Inside info from whom?
How is the block different?
Right...I'm sure they created a completely different block for the JDM market, which, COMPLETELY contradicts the entire POINT, of having a world engine. Is it configured differently? Yes. Does it have DIS, where the US version does not? Yes. Does it have different pistons? Yes. Does it have different heads? I don't believe so. Does't it have a different block? NO. That doesn't even make sense. All of the plants (worldwide) are equipped to make ALL of the Duratec variants. Because they all start out the same.
This goes to show who really knows people on the inside at Mazda. Where are all the people that said that this car would never happen? I've been waiting 2 years just to see Mazda prove them wrong. This only gives hope that every Mazda model may have a Mazdaspeed version in the future. Hopefully this car will sell allowing them to introduce a Mazda3 version.

Actually, this brings up a point that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere yet. The Mazdaspeed6 uses Mazda's newest and coolest keyless entry system. It's a passcard that will unlock doors and/or trunk as you near it (you don't need to take the passcard out of your pocket). In addition, when you get into the car, you simply turn a stubby key-like thing to start the car (the car detects the card's presence and lets you start that way). Unfortunately, this is all I know about this system so far (if I get more details I'll share).Da 6 said:
The Mazda5 (also introduced in Paris '04) also uses this system, although my sources indicate that it won't come on N. American-spec.
So forget about the retractable '05 RX-8, Miata, and MPV keyless - that's already too old!
eh...remote popers would work? Not like i'd do it foreal tho.
Eh it looks ok I guess on my car with shaved moldings as well
timba I kinda sucked on this session (million things running thru mind) so I made 2 versions ones darker and ones same shade as stock...
*edit* Smothed out the stock taillights w/o chrome and converted chrome to hyper black with polished lip(yippy)

yeah it's my favorite too
wongpress you mean like the new lexus...walk up and the park lights come on with headlights and as long as you have the passcard on person the car will run. So if the car is on and someone puts a gun to your head and cr jacks you once the car gets like say 3 feet from you it dies? also the current 6 has remote start option will this one have it too or would you need to leave the pass key in the csar for it to remote start with aftermarket system defeating the security feature.
