i know mazda isnt part of this site, but i went to their promotional event in arlington heights, IL a week back, and i have to say the mazdaspeed 6 is freakin sweet. turbo awd! handles like a dream and gets up and goes too.

The mazdaspeed 6 has AWD? We could add it to the site..? I like the styling of the Mazda 3 Wagon

It hits 15.6 psi @ 2500 rpm.

Mazda has really impressed me the last few years and they stepped it up again..Watch out STi/EVO owners!

My GF wants one of the new Mazda 3 turbo's when they come out

yep. the Mazda speed 6 has AWD. but from what i hear its not that good. and the handling is very vauge. but nonetheless its AWD. so we should add it.

mazda is owned by Ford now right?

now if the Mazda 3 was boosted and AWD...maybe id consider it...because of the extra creature comforts in the 03+ models!

yea the tranny and awd system in the mazdaspeed 6 is not great. its transfer case is very week from wat ive heard. but still a sexy lookin car!!! and on the new mazdaspeed3,i freakin love that car for some reason, i think the srt-4 has a rival now!!! mazda has been improving since it didnt do well on the RX-8!!!

^hmm,... i never kept up on mazda...didnt know that the rx8 didnt do too well...its a nice looking car...all i know is that it has some serious engine problems...as with most rotarys....like the seals.. and what not....


yeah..i always though the mazdas had sweet interiors...they had plenty of creature comforts!!!!!!

ahh..the neon*cough*srt-4.....dont get me started......... ha ha ha ha

Arent the new RX-8's slow as shit? I think people bought them thinking "OMG its a new gen RX-7!" And they were then extremely dissapointed..

yea the RX-8's r very SLOW!!!! mazda has very good lokking cars, but they need to get their mechanicals figured out.

It hits 15.6 psi @ 2500 rpm.


Your telling us that stock, straight outta the box she pulls 15.6 psi @ 2500rpm? Hmmm, Id'e have to see that to believe it..... Awfully high boost for a stock car......

Stock EVO's come at 19PSI I think..so 15.6 on that car sounds reasonable

The new IX's boost around 21 and taper down to 19 or 18. They can boost higher in colder weather as well from the factory tune.


I though the RX8's were good with Auto X because their weight is 50/50 balanced, too bad they couldnt throw in the twin turbo again.

my friend runs about 18 daily w/ a manual boost cntrl. but he ran 22 at the track for 1 run. lol

They make TT kits..but I heard there not too good on the engine :brick:

It would still be a fun car either way

But we are talking EVO's here. Isn't that like comparing apples to oranges??? I'm clueless here, not trying to start shit......

I bought an mazdaspeed6 and I like it so far, dont know what to compare it too, my last car was an 01 mitsu eclipse w/turbo kit. The AWD is great, although the stock tires arnt all that great, Im excited to get started on adding some basic mods, since there is not a lot out so far.

I do think the Six should be added to this site, not the three only becuase the speed3 is not AWD...
