My new Mazda MazdaSpeed6 - Tuner-Junction

GsrVtec · #1 (**permalink**) October 29th, 2006, 03:48 PM

Just bought a brand new Mazda Mazdaspeed6. The car drives amazing. The power is great and the interior is amazing. I wanted the luxury space of a sedan and the power as well. This is what I was looking for. Some may like it some my not. But I LOVE IT. I just wanted to share with others. (not trying to brag) But everyone knows that feeling of when you buy a new car (used or new) you want to share with everyone and drive it nonstop lol. Oh btw the MSRP on this car is $28,555 Before Tax, Tag, Title., and dealer fees. I walked out the door with her for $24,000 everything included.

If any one wants to read the exact specs on the car they can view it HERE.

very nice. I have heard so little about this car (i don't even know if it's fwd or awd), care to post a few specs? Especially quarter mile times so i know what i'm up against.

edit: I'm an idiot and scrolled by a link that said "specs." 274hp and awd, wow.

Awesome car! I saw one the other day and it embarrassed me and my CRX horribly...

lol Thank you all for your great comments. Yea its new and estimated 1/4 miles time is at 13.9@100mph best run. 0-60 in 5.8sec Top speed governed at 151mph. Its a great car all around. I love it. Also being that the msrp runs at 28555 for this car and I got it for 24000 out the door with everything included makes it better. Although I wish insurance could be a whole lot cheaper.

Here is a video I found on streetfire of a stock Mazdaspeed6 running a 13.9 don't mind the Camaro lol.

I like it and that's saying a lot since I'm not overly a fan of Mazda.

The specs on it look good but the one thing that strikes me is mileagewise it doesn't do much better than my truck which to me is strange for a car but that's a small gripe.

Congrats on the new car man. May you have plenty of good times in the years to come.

I've been waiting for someone to get one of these, they look great and the specs are pretty impressive. Congratulations dude, hope it treats you well.

Looks really good!! I wonder how easy it is to add a front mount IC and raise the boost slightly. I knew these cars were turbo but I didn't realize they were AWD.

Now go update your vB Garage!!

update the vb garage and congrats on the car looks nice actually and its turbo so all the time you spent on supercharging the teg werent lost since you still picked up a boosted car.

yea it would look nice with a FMIC. Mazda didnt want to make it look to flashy though. Thats why they didnt get the big air scoop and the big wing. Although if you look at the picture of my hood you'll see it's really effective design. As tfor the factory wing I like that lil lip wing too.

Update 11-2-06:

Just got LoJack installed today.

triniskill · #16 (**permalink**) November 3rd, 2006, 06:17 PM

LoJack is a good investment

carboncivic · #17 (**permalink**) November 5th, 2006, 04:05 PM

Good looking car, but I was always seeing these cars with different shades in the tail lights. Do you know why that is?

GsrVtec · #18 (**permalink**) November 5th, 2006, 06:59 PM

its black inside. to giveit that sport look and the look that you know its a mazdaspeed6 im guessing. Thats what I read.

scottigee · #19 (**permalink**) November 5th, 2006, 08:36 PM

Nice dude, good buy! I'm curious to hear more about this car as you drive it more. A guy I work with has a 6 (non-mazdaspeed) and has had some issues with it, but I'm not sure if it's him or the car. Hopefully the quality is there for you with the mazdaspeed. It definitely looks great. And you got a great deal @ $24k!!

GsrVtec · #20 (**permalink**) November 5th, 2006, 09:17 PM

hmm i have a buddy of mine too that has a regular mazda6 s the v6 model and hes never had a problem with it for the past 40k miles. Also all mazda6's besides the speed6 are all made by ford in the USA. The speed6 is the only one that was shipped here from Japan and kept built from japan. On the windows sticker info it says 95% Japan parts and 0% Domestic. Hense the other reason why I chose the speed6 for the authentic Japanism. <---new word lol
