Mazda 6 MPS - Page 3

BigMal · 06-03-2004, 05:33 PM

I will wait and see if it happens. I remember all the advertising about
Mazda and HKS putting out turbo options for the Astina and also the previous
MPS from the tokyo shows etc believe it when I see it.

platypus · 06-03-2004, 09:03 PM

told ya i'd find them.. well except the MPS 6

ok the mazdaspeed 3 A-Spec

new mazda Mx-5 SE (turbo)

how about a Mazda Speed Rx-8?

Race Rx-8?

Mazda AZ wagon (or Cooper??)

Mazda 2 FWD with selectable RWD

mazda lunch box (perhaps mazda 0.5?)

mazda's other lunch box (perhaps mazda 0.55?)

mazda 6 (i'm not sure what i'm looking for now)

platypus · 06-03-2004, 09:48 PM

by the way you might want to check out this site.. sure its in japanese... but you can still feel fairly ripped off witht he australian options!!!

i need a DVD/Sat nav/MP3/ Cd player

or perhaps just a bonnet wing :P

Mazda Web Tune (jp)

twilightprotege · 06-03-2004, 11:23 PM

fruitbat38 · 30-09-2004, 10:18 AM

And the price????

Time to sacrifice the ploughtege and get one thats fallen off the back of a truck :wink:

mrpayner · 30-09-2004, 12:23 PM

Expect to pay over $60K for it when it lands here.. Go http://www.media.mazda.com/photolibr.../index6_e.html to get your latest fix of the best HI-RES images of the revised concept.. Differences are..

- Sedan now instead of hatch
- Grill
- Bonnet
- Front Bar
- Rear Bar
- Red dials [sadly blue is gone]

... just to name a few..

SP:KING · 01-10-2004, 02:56 PM

Well it was in todays paper, 0-100km/hr 6.6 sec, price tag $55k.

Aaron · 01-10-2004, 04:25 PM

Also power output is down to 190ish kW ...

HI-RES · 02-10-2004, 03:26 AM

^--- thats pretty lame, some competition against sti :roll:

dfvadr · 02-10-2004, 09:15 AM

well the evo's and the sti's are detuned to 195kw's so i expected mazda would have to do the same

but thats no issue just have it retuned to the max power an run a fuel booster /additive to raise the octainelevel an ur weapon is flying :lol:

HI-RES · 02-10-2004, 02:27 PM

mmm yeah but i mean the oz release sti is 5.5 secs, jap spec is 4.8 secs. why is mps 0-100 time so average (so to speak) with kw output like that?
wonder what the torque curve is like though in comparison, the sti is rather...unorthodox :? to put it kindly!

i'd rather an rx8 like a friend has...his dad won 4 mil in lotto!! :shock: there quicker too by the looks of things..

Cosmo Dude · 02-10-2004, 05:13 PM

The evo and the sti are Mazda 3 sized cars. The Mazda 6 would be better compared to a Liberty if you want a true comparison.
There is more to life than 1/4 mile times, when you least expect it life will throw in some corners or a few passengers.

KittyKatSmack · 02-10-2004, 06:01 PM

Here's hoping one will be at the MotorShow in Sydney next week where we can take some pictures and GRILL the Mazda Schlarpies, I mean salesfolks!

muahahahahahahahahaha

Grilled Schlarpies, not so much meat and beware the bones!!!

mrpayner · 03-10-2004, 06:10 PM

Yes i heard a rumour that there will be an MPS at the show in Sydney.. But we saw it first here in melbourne! :P

Mind you.. Sydney will no doubt get the "updated" look which is in that media gallery I posted above..

Cosmo Dude · 04-10-2004, 06:48 AM

How about length, width, wheelbase, front and rear track etc....?

You've picked out one statistic without looking at the whole picture.
