Hey guys a buddy of mine just test drove one of these things and said it was a really nice and decently fast car, and is thinking about getting one, what do you guys think? Dont go Mazda or what, i think it looks kind of cool, and the 285 hp is not to shaby awd, and from what my friend said the turbo runs 15psi, so not to badd, whats your alls opinion?

how about the tvr speed 6

Sorry I kidnapped your thread.

 

idk, i dont know how much i like the car u put, kind of looks like a car that will never come out, or like a retro vette or something

 

Its not american, you just dont see many TVRs in america. There is one in the movie Swordfish though.

Anyways, how much does the mazda weigh? What is the interior like?

 

my friend said its pretty much like the interior or a reg mazda 6 with like a racing style seat, and a cooler interior better gauges!

 

Assuming it's nearly as nimble as the I4 Mazda6 (but with more power and 4x4), I'd tell your friend to go for it.

 

That turbo is only adding 65hp? I know the '05 v6 Mazda has 220hp. I was thinking it would be closer to 300 with a turbo.

 

Mazdaspeed 6 has a 2.3L turbo 4cyl

even if it could, mazda wouldnt make it over 300hp because of the horsepower limit regulations in japan and for driveability (im pretty sure)... and its supposed to be the more "civilized" version of the EVO9 and STi.

i like the looks of it...the front looks alittle funny w/ the bulbous hood to cover the TMIC

 

^^^^^No such thing anymore. The "Gentlemens Agreement " in japan is no longer in affect.

 

Oh the turboed version isnt the v6? That makes more sense now, thanks.
