autoweek has an article on the MZSPD6 this week... It quotes ~400lbs over a Std Mazda6.. All that turbo stuff, PLUS the AWD system adds up to a lot of weight..

[Da 6]

turbo couldn't have add that much unless they dug up some old non ball bearing t3.

[AzMz3]

3,589 lbs.

That sums it all right there.....Its A Porker!

[Da 6]

yep and everyone said they wanted to be a hatch. Good thing they didn't make us one too ;) how much did the ausie speed 6 hatch weigh?

[KpaBap]

holy crap that's at least 600 pounds too heavy to be exciting :(

not to mention it weighs more than a miata and a half (rofl)

[Da 6]

wonder how it is in the snow being that heavy?

[Mikey444]

the heavier the better for snow driving as long as you got some winter rubber

[AzMz3]

Yeah just attach a plow to the front and make everyone in the town happy! (cool)

[Da 6]

get razzi to make a snow plow kit just like the one they made for the dodge neon ;)

Be like the jaguar comercial have a EVO and WRX folowing behind it with passengers saying "Stay in his tracks" (poke)

[Mikey444]

lol, but seriously the heavier the better when in snow driving conditions as long as you got winter rubber.

[Da 6]

did your non speed 6 come with winter rubber stock?

[Mikey444]

nope came with the stock michelins that I might wear them to bits in 1 day in summer. P.S. they are awesome tires for drifting :D

[Da 6]

yeah I know...they need to be replaced from only 1 sanctioned event!

[mazdaspeedpower]

I'll hold my final judgement for when it's actually here...cause I've heard alot of things about those 'stated' numbers......

Whats up with the top mount, can someone say HEAT SOAK! And only a 50 hp

gain at 1 bar, Mazda needs to get with the program.

[Da 6]

50hp gain over the 3L, but over a 110 hp increase over the 2.3L. With only a few extra hundred pounds added to it (500lbs.+ not bad at all)

We'll see on he streets and the tracks if it is as horrible as we say ;)
