Picked it up on Monday.
07 Black Mica/Black Mazdaspeed 6 Grand Touring with every option and lots of extras. Picked it up with 2,200 miles on it from the Vice President of a Mazda Dealership in the greater Chicago area. He intended to make it a show car but then got his wife pregnant and decided to sell it. His loss was my gain. Picked the car up for the same price as many Speed 6's I saw with less options, more miles, and no modifications. The dealer also certified it so the warranty is good for 7 yrs/100k miles.
Included with the car was the following items:
Whiteline 24mm Adjustable Rear Sway Bar
Ultimate Dual Port Blow Off Valve Kit
GHL Stainless Steel 3" DUAL Catback Exhaust System (With Resonator)
Billet Aluminum Rear Bone Engine Mount
Stainless Test Pipe (Catless)
MAZDASPEED Cold Air Intake System
MAZDASPEED Forged Aluminum Wheels
Car Cover
Clear Bra System
All Original Parts
All Receipts
Previous owner stated 330hp and 4.8 seconds for 0-60. I have yet to verify any of that information but hope to have it on a dyno sometime soon. It's noticeably faster than the stock 07 speed 6 I drove right before test driving this one. I assume it needs a proper tune to get any real benefits? Where do I start with that?
Overall I feel I got an excellent deal and I am extremely happy. I keep looking for reasons to go somewhere. I have had alot of fun cars including an 04 SRT-4, 05 GTO, 05 SRT6, 08 Impala SS, multiple Taurus SHO's, etc. and I think I found the perfect blend of them all. Only thing I'm concerned about is some of the engine problems I have been reading about. Speaking of which, how important is it to get a shield over my CAI? Seen a thread of two about water getting sucked into the engine. Also is there anyway to know if the clutch TSB has been performed?
First tank of gas was about 20 MPG which I'm happy with as I wasn't exactly highway cruising or gentle on the car.
I have been doing some research and trying to learn what I can. I want to add the IPOD interface but from my understanding if you have Siruis this is a no go? Can the minidisc player be added at least? Also any way to change the radio to automatically show the song name/artist without having to hit the info button so many times?
Onto the pictures. I cleaned it up tonight after I picked it up from the tint shop but it was already dark. I will add some more pictures tommorrow.
Far away shot (sorry it's dirty, stupid salt)
Rims
Exhaust
Tint (15% just had it done today)
