Thumbs up Mazdaspeed 6

Oh, my.....just read the details of the mazdaspeed 6. It's got 274HP out of our little Mazda 3 2.3 liter engine. Now, if you could, would you bump that kit into your 3?

And do you think it'll even be possible to get that kit in a 3? The 6 is coming out with a 6-speed manual and all-wheel drive - out of the question for us 3 owners, but the extra horsies would be fun.

I'm sure the power could be had easily....but the big draw is the AWD drivetrain and 6-spd manual shifter. I'd like to see more about the 6-spd tranny....I'm very interested in using it in my p5.

Since the 6 speed tranny is to work with a 274hp awd car, it would not be that suitable for your p5 with half the power for the ms6.

One example would be the maxima 6 speed in the Spec -v sentra. Very sluggish.

we're dynoing in a few weeks but the blower is capable of 300whp. Stock fuel system is good up to 285+whp...

We'll see how everything turns out!!
