Mazdaspeed.....3! Damnit!

So now the 8 is third on the list of Mazda horsepower. It's a damn beautiful car but considering what Mazda Australia's R&D came up with in 04, you'd think they'd have rolled out an 8 with more grunt by now. Oh well, this means the 8 MUST be next in line.

and in the wrong section too. Welcome to the forum mate

I can tell you the MPS 6 is at least 5 sec behind my 8 in any track. If you cannot drive, I give you 100kW more and you are still slower than me.

Wake up and drive faster Porsche drivers Video here right click and save as...

As you can tell... I am much against rich driver than cannot drive... that is what the furthur MPS 3 driver say about us... lift your game up mate

I just test dove the mazdaspeed 6 and wowwwwww hold on to something because the thing pushes like a truck through high speed turns and you are shifting from 4th to 5th at 80 mph the 8 does 90 at 3rd to 4th gear. yes it has more horsepower but shifting will slow you down "too many shifts to get to speed" also buddy test drove the 8 wont let him drive mine ha ha he launched it at a light at almost redline with traction compleatly shut off and still excellerated faster than the 6 smoking the tires through the intersection. Ngo is right horepower is not everything.

Hmmm....Mazdaspeed6, Mazdaspeed3, rumor of a MazdaspeedMX5.....

I'll bet Mazda announces a Mazdaspeed5 before the MazdaspeedRX8!!! Just imagine a speed version minivan!

Well....thats OK because if they did have a speed8 I'd have to seriously consider it, and I really like my 8 just the way it is!
