99 TL Bone stock VS 05 Mazda 6 6cyl 6AT bone stock... what would the result be??

 

Wow that's a close one. You have a little more power but weigh about 115lbs more as well. From mags I've seen the TL was low 7's and the Mazda 6 is high 6's. I'll say drivers race. I do think the gearing in the 6 is better though. Never been in a 99 TL but if we're just talking by numbers it looks like a drivers race. Just don't go out and try to race the new Mazdaspeed 6, It'll eat you up! LOL

 

lol a buddy of mine has the 6 and he says he will smoke me.. wanted others opinions.. thank you!

 

I'm seeing figures of 8 seconds for the Mazda 6. But this was before they changed over to the 6 speed AT.

Its a peaky engine. Puts out less than 200 lb/ft. The power comes in above 5,500. Your friend's lack of a manual tranny won't help him on the launch. I think you'll get him from the drop but he might pull on the high end.

 

i drove the 4cyl of Mazda 6 before,it was sucks and no power at all....but i m not sure the V6 one....i know the V6 one have more power,but i dunno about their power....is it a strong V6 or not....so u guyz should race....lol

and post the result...

 

That 4cyl cant be any worse than the 4 cyl in my wife's old 626 LX.

While the 6s wont set any 1/4 mile records for V6 sedans, it's respectably quick. But, its strong suit (and Mazda's, in general) is handling and great looks.

99 TL + 6s AT = driver's race.

 

yeah....should be a driver's race....

but if its a 02 or 03 TL-S,will beat the 6s V6 AT or MT

 

heres a few numbers

wut about TL-S???

 

i have a 99 tl not stock, but have raced a MT 6S and beat it easily, you should be able to take a AT 6S no problem! go whip his ass!

 

sounds good.. i plan on putting it on video so sometime tomorrow or sunday it should be up

 

It's going to be raining for the next several days in the NYC area so, I'd recommend taking it to the track once we dry out. And dont do it on the street; I dont want to read about another drag race gone awry in NYC.

 

I drove an 05 mazda6 V6 before I bought my 03 TL type s. TL was way better in all aspects. Mazda semi-suto tranny was sluggish in comparision. TL is a little heavier, but it seems to pull harder. Not sure what the numbers are on paper, but type s should get the better of the mazda 6.

 

thanks for the tip.. yeah i see that its going to be raining for a while we will have to wait and see
