I'm Impressed with Mazda

Anyone see the new MazdaSpeed6 ? Based off the current mazda6 platform.
4 cyl, 2.3 litre intercooled turbo, AWD and a six speed. Ill try to find a link later. Might be an Evo/Sti chaser. :dunno: Being released in feb 2005.

yup,there sweet!

whats the price range gonna be around??

sweet

0-¼ mile : 14.7 sec @ 96.5 mph(estimated)

not with those times, but it would be nice to have something else that quick on the road

$30K

not that bad looking but for same price i’m geting a evo

definitely…

I think Mazda makes some nice ride, I liked the MP3 and i think the RX-8 is pretty nice too

I couldn’t tell - is it bigger than an Evo?

so, does this mean the focus will get this motor too?

interesting, but the estimated numbers arent that great 0-60 mph : 6.2 sec.
0-¼ mile : 14.7 sec @ 96.5 mph(estimated) the new colbalt SS has 205hp and runs the 1/4mile in 14.5

Nice car… but the weight of the car must be heavier then the evo… they have the same HP and torque…

i dont buy that quarter mile time… for an evo and mazdaspeed6 to have the same hp and torque. but the 6 is a whole second slower? You know how much weight that would have to be?

i’d doubt it.

the focus shares a platform with the Mazda 3, not the 6.

now, it might be an easy swap into a Focus ST…

yeah but the 2.3L thats in the turbo 6 & base model 6 is the same engine thats in the 3, so it is the same.

there’s already talks about bringing the Focus RS to the states as the new SVT Focus

but do you see ford putting out a 250+ hp Focus? it would have to be priced well over $20k to not kill the current ST models.

been there done that, I believe it has 280hp, and AWD

And SVT has made mention of importing here

Yeah the RS has been around for a while in europe…last thing i read was that it was coming & thats why they got rid of the SVT focus, so the RS wouldn’t be competing with it.

I’m not a focus fan, but i would consider a RS…i’ve never read a bad review about it.
