@ SeigSama. Your right the driver in the video is not short shifting it at about 6000RPM. I can tell by how the exhaust notes sounds. This one female at my job tried to race my speed6 in a Pontiac Solstice. I just laughed and told her I really don't feel like wasting the gas. lol.
Worst AWD take off ever. No wonder he could only get a 5.8 second 0-60. Also judging by the length of time he was in 1st and 2nd gear he was over revving the turbo. Shift at 5800 or GTFO. I own one and all the time I get asked WTF kind of mazda 6 is that? To which I answer "the only kind worth owning :)" It gets under rated on the street all the time. I'm sure I sent plenty of audi and Mustang owners home to their computers to look up "Mazdaspeed6"
@rollajoc96 I completely agree, I always been a fan of turbo all wheel drive cars (Evo, skyline, wrx sti just to name a few) didn't even know it existed till just a while ago. but until the price drops some more ill keep looking for a 323 gtx
@vernong1992 They discontinued it because in 2008 they introduced the Mazda6S with a 3.7L V6. Now that they had a modern V6 with 270hp there was no need for a Mazdaspeed version, or so says Mazda.
Really is a great car... The perfect balance between looks, luxury and power. Not too expensive either, I picked up mine for a lot less then an EVO/STI and with a couple tweeks here and there I could probably keep up with a stock one. I love my MS6 lol.
this is a really nice car its cheap too but can outperform a bmw or audi and maby an evo or sti with a few mods its amazing Im going to get a civic si hatchack first,work for a year then im going to buy this.
@gravityhammer25 You can get one cheaper then a brand new Civic Si. Got mine last month for $18,000 with only 15,000 miles on it. Perfect condition. Take a look at the video I put on on my youtube page.
Im not getting a brand new civic im getting a used si the 02-05 si model they arent fast but I think it is a good car for me to start out with since it has 160hp which i dont think is that bad but it is kinda weak but it has vtec and can use regular gas and gets good gas mileage.
Well I changed my mind about getting the Honda,im just going to get a crappy cheap car,and save my money up for a Mazda Speed 6 then I want to mod the crap out of it.
@wolf1010 You can find some pretty good deals on the Mazdaspeed6. I got one last month for about $18000. I have seen some going as high as $23,000 but that is just crazy to me.
Okay one serious question. I have heard and read from here in the internet that the stereo deck of this car (bose) doe's not read mp3 cd's or burned songs to a cd. am i right here? pls confirm thanks.
The stock MS6 CD player can play back regular burned cd's, but cannot play back MP3. You have to upgrade the cd player for the MP3 format to be played.
It's too bad this car is no longer in production. The new Mazda 6 is too big in my opinion. But the Speed 6 is the perfect car if you don't want to look like a boy racer, but want the performance. I'd love to find a used one that hasn't had the snot driven out of it.
i'm going to be selling mine soon with a new motor, my motor popped at 30,000 miles under casual driving. i think i became unlucky and got a bad motor, i have never seen another motor blow this quick.
@55NoThanks i agree with you, the ne mazda 6 looks way too big. my parents own the 2009 and i dont like it at all. i got the 2004 speed6 and it looks way better and is a lot faster
@Bongwater123 FAIL! @sleepksilver is right. There is no such thing as an 04 MS6. I think it was made in 06-07. you know, for the next time u wanna lie out ur ass
I raced a Evo VIII with an exhaust, with my Speed 6 with an intake and exhaust neither of us pulled i was pretty happy about that it all depends on who gets the better launch if i messed up he would get a length and then it would remain the same to 100
I like this car, i liked the Mazda 6's appeal and if it has 275 HP, wow that looks like fun. Id want to test drive this car, but they stopped making it, so unless someone i know owns one or is selling it.
??? The power curve on this car, with the turbo coming on at 3K and falling off before 6K, you have to shift ALL the time. Not that that's a bad thing, in my book.
clutch slip is where you rev pretty high usually i go about 5 grand, and then let out on the clutch until it grabs and then let off, instead of just dumping the clutch which makes it bog down and isnt as fast. the best 0-60 time ive gotten is 5.18s fullystock only an intake
if u put the stock tires on it (this one had pirellis for some reason) the brakin distance will decreas to 112 feet (which is almost 2 meters less than zo6 corvette of that year). original tires were potenzas summer performance.
i love my mazdaspeed, and i think their 0-60 time is off a little when he was launching it looked like he was bogging it, u need to clutch slip them so they dont bog down
Would it be advisable to get one of these used?
