3.0 or mazda 6

my friend just got a mazda 6 and is calling me out. she wants to put a wager on the race so i cant lose!! i think the 6 has 215hp we only have 200. on the flipside we have the v-tech. were both heavy as hell and stock.she also has the auto-stick tranny. anyone ever raced the 6? what happened? opinions?

youll lose... vtech will only call for help.. im sure the mazda 6 has some sorta varible valve timing.

vtec isnt that great, espcailly your SOHC. vtec may feel sweet and give you a kick in the pants but continous varible valve timing is better for performance.

Yeah the 6 is pretty quick. When import revolution came through Tacoma, Yokohama had a track set up in the Tacoma Dome's parking lot and you got to test out different types of tires on mazda 6's. They're nice.

unless your gonna heavily mod your car prior to the match youll lose man.... not much chance she will screw up drving an auto.

and the Mazda 6 might be a nice car but it aint a fuckin bullet either i remember reading somewhere car and driver clocked a stick shift one at like 15.5 with optimal conditions ect... so a fantasticautomatic shouldnt be to far behind the 3.0.... not the absolute slaughter we might all be thinking run his ass and tell us

Flash her just before you go to distract her and be out. Didnt you say your tranny had issues also? Running with a bad tranny aint that good of an idea.

i think its supercharged...

if she just bought her car, i would just lose to her purposly, id hate to of just spent 30k and lose to a older, what, 10K car?.. especially if its her first car and she loves it... even if you do pull a miracle and beat her dont rub it in her face or you wont ever get her titties rubbed in your face...

you might have a chance here, if her car is brand spanking new, its maybe not be properly broken in yet, and the rings may not have a perfect seal yet. if her car is new i would advise her not wait and not take the chance of wrecking her engine.

No, just trying to prove a point. I copied that from the site, cuz I wanted to prove my point. You said that it was a protege, I said that your 3.0 could hang with a regular 6, as long as it wasn't one of the mazdaspeed6's.

And that is your car's new nickname, grease lightning.
