02' GT Vert vs. 06' MS6

Black2vConvertible · August 29th, 2011, 02:07 PM

Anyone ever raced one of these Mazdaspeed 6's before?

from a dig or a roll?

A buddy at work just picked one up over the weekend and has been taunting me all day about wanting to race... I know the MS6 is 100% stock... AWD with 275hp/280ft.lb's of torque from the factory and rolls a 6spd manual.

I'm riding 100% stock except for a BBK CAI

Anyways... test and tune at sunshine is this wed. so I "MAY" just go ahead and accept his offer to race just to see what happens but I'd hate to lose since he's a punk and would definitely talk some shit t'ill no end... lol

as always thanks in advance for all reply's/responses!

my buddy ran a 14.0 in his with a catback and bov.

you may just get beat, but not by much.

Black2vConvertible · August 29th, 2011, 04:38 PM

watched a few vids on Youtube on my lunchbreak and it seems like it's pretty much a drivers race.... however... I couldn't find any 100% stock vs. 100% stock videos.

Honestly I think he's too much of a punk to really launch his car properly to beat me from a dig and from a roll depending on the gear/mph I imagine I may win based off of overall torque and lack of drivetrain loss vs. that 4cyl having to turn that AWD system?

I doubt the BOV did much but the catback will make a pretty good difference on a turbocharged car.

ReverendDexter · August 29th, 2011, 04:43 PM

I think you'll take him. MS6 uses the same motor that's in the MS3, but it's a good deal heavier and has more drivetrain loss.

Maybe it's a more interesting race than I'm giving the 6 credit for, though.

Go forth and tell us how it goes, lol.

Let us know how it goes.
Guy here in my town has one with aftermarket BOV, exhaust, intake. Fairly good driver, and it doesn't impress me much.
Goodluck. (=

exactly the same as my buddies.
but i think it's okay.
(i love the way they sound tho)

when he launches it, it's definitely a good kick in your ass, hahaha.

The2000MustangGT · August 31st, 2011, 11:01 AM

Haha, yeah his car sounds really good for what it is.
But it didnt impress me at all.
The guy I knows car looks good as well.
Wouldnt ever own one though. Definetely wouldn't ever pay the price for one.

If I ever move back to snow country it'd be on my short list as a nice sleeper alternative to a WRX or Evo, but other than that, I agree.

I've never really seen one in action other than on youtube... I have driven a 2011' Mazdaspeed 3 and it was nice once it got spoolin but I imagine the 6 would be a little bit slower after the initial launch with the loss of the drivetrain directing power to all 4 wheels. without launching it hard I imagine it would kinda bog off the line?

For the price of one couldn't you just afford a WRX?
I'd definetely get a WRX if i lived in snow country.

I've heard it's harder to launch AWD cars, I'm not sure. If it is then you can try and get him out of the hole and keep it up until the end, Make sure you get a vid, and good luck!

I'll definitely film it if it goes down... who knows... he may just back down and say he was just playing... lol...

Sunshine speedway... it's a 1/8th mile too...

tp88 · September 13th, 2011, 06:37 PM

i raced one stock with a BOV.. i had CAI, sct programmer, and pullies, mid pipe and weld in flowmasters and from a dig he didn't pull on me into after 100 before that he was at my back bumper. i also had my 220lb cousin in my car. launch it good. they have pretty good top end. if anything he will start catching you at the end. should be very close.

sj408 · September 13th, 2011, 08:46 PM

what everyone else says, Quarter mile you should probably get him but up top hell start pulling. Ive seen lightly modded ones pulling hard up to 120 or so

Black2vConvertible · September 14th, 2011, 06:48 PM

** UPDATE ** ( or lack of... lol)

haven't raced yet or anything... he was real cocky at first but for some reason has lossed alot of interest in wanting to race until he "does work to the car" I doubt he will do any work to the car and is just stalling or something but I would atleast like to see what would happen!

This means the race will never happen.
Just one of those guys who talks a lot.

Black2vConvertible · September 15th, 2011, 01:38 PM

I'll bring it up to him again... Kinda sucks because I was anticipating the race as much as everyone else was that came to read this thread. Hopefully there will be a video to post up sometime soon... either way I keep my camera in my car at all times so if it happens it will be documented. =)
