RX8 vs Speed 6
 

Okay, next week I buy a new Mazda.

I'm torn between the RX8 and Speed 6.

Somebody tell me why the heck I would by an RX8 when I can buy a FASTER Speed 6 for LESS!

Humper

go mets

Sounds like you wouldn't! Enjoy your MS6 man.

The RX-8 looks better, is more fun to drive, has a much higher cool factor and doesn't blow up on the dyno. :)

Also the MS6 is faster in a straight line but I'd put my money on the RX-8 in the corners.

well here are some reasons...yes the 8 isnt the fastest, but it sure is one amazing machine!

Highest Rev range of any car
you can redline it to 9,000 RPM
you're going to have people commenting on your car all the time
looks & handles so much better
finally you're going to have a hot girl in your passenger seat laughing at the guy driving the speed 6 hahah :rock:

If you're not looking for extra practicaility why buy one of the worst AWD turbos cars on the market when you can have one of the best RWD sport coupes on the market.

Alright, strike what I just said, RX-8 owners are morons. Buy the MS6 :hahano:

if i was to buy an awd turbo, i'd get the evo in a heartbeat.

Ike dude you need to lighten up haha I was just F'kin around

As am I, hence the little guy laughing...

the mazdaspeed 6 is a fake 4WD, that car only got one LSD on the rear.

How does that make it fake AWD (it's not 4wd)? :uhh:

Somehow I sense a bit of sarcasm from Ike here.

I was being dead serious.

People keep saying the MS6 is faster than the RX-8. I have yet to see any data posted here affirming that.

IS IT REALLY FASTER???!! Show me, plz.

he only says that because his car is awd.

I think ike is getting soft in his old age, he used to really hate the car :)

It's most certainly faster. When it's not falling on its face as a result of the lousy R&D Mazda did on it, the MS6 is capable of running high 13s @ 98+

COOLNESS FACTOR......people will envy you because of the way your car looks....even if it's not faster. I DON'T CARE i'll take my car any day over any other mazda, that's why i bought it.

LOL!

And speaking of quick, the MAZDASPEED6 will hit 60 in only 5.8 seconds, and run the full quarter mile in 14 seconds at 99 miles-per-hour.

but a dog legged 4WD

It's quicker than that to 60 and for the second time, it's AWD not 4wd.

Good lord. You think if people can find a car message forum that they could learn how to research on their own.

this is where I got those data.
how can it e a AWD if one of the front wheel could get stuck in da mud

I haven't driven the Speed6 but I would recommend you take them both for an extened test drive under different conditions. In that case if practicality isn't an issue youd probably go for the 8.

Ike---have you driven the speed6?
