Default Can I beat a MazdaSpeed 6? **RESULTS ARE IN**

With the mods listed below...and I stripped my car of everything but the dash and drivers seat. I even pulled the center consel. With my mods listed below, can I beat a stock turbocharged MazdaSpeed6?

My buddy loves to talk trash.

FYI there is a bench racing subforum over on S/S. Probably should've gone in there.

Yeah I would think so. I drove one a couple years back and nearly bought it, but I lived in Seattle at the time which has HORRIBLE traffic, so I decided I didn't want a manual for my DD. It was pretty quick, but not amazingly so. I'm jaded though, lol.

Yeah you should def. get him. I ran one at the track one day he launced on me but after that it was over. I think he ran like a 14.4@97 or something like that. So you should pull on him pretty good.

One of my friend's has a mazdaspeed 3 and your stock gt should beat it. As for the 6 it has a little more hp but you should still bea able to beat him, considering how well you can drive.

The racers bench section doesnt move as fast as this section does though? He says his car can run low 13's...but we will see.

his car may, with the AWD launch, but can he? I drove a WRX for six years, and for as much trash talk about quarter mile times as there was on subaru forums, most couldn't/wouldn't launch & shift the car to get close to what the magazines or the good drivers can get. 'Course, it's that way with every car...

If you are doing this at the track, go there on a day before and practice. I ran a 13.9 at 103 with just an intake/tune; you should be a lot faster than 13.8 with 4.10's and the exhaust added on.

The MS6 in an average drivers hands will hit mid-low 14's; a capable driver(knows how to use AWD) will be able to hit high, high 13's.

Stock, they trap around ~96 MPH.

Are you running 13.8's with your mods or what OP?

U should be able to. If it really frustrates you get a Zex kit and a 75 - 100 shot and u definitely will. Plus yours looks a lot nicer and has hell of a lot more personality.
