4cyl manual

6 cyl man
mazdaspeed 6 ?


does anyone have the breakdown too of what the 60' 800' 1/8' and trap speed should be for each

 

this is what I found out a while back at www.caranddriver.com when I put a search for the Mazda 6s v6 .

here's a portion :

Twist the key and blip the throttle to transform a quiet idle (at 40 dBA, it's 5 dBA more hushed than the new Honda Accord V-6) into a feral snarl. Under way with the hammer down, there's 76 dBA of baritone roar, the timbre of which suggests it originates in Yankee cubes rather than high-tech cams. It sounds so fast that one's emotional side might be surprised to learn that its 6.8-second blast to 60 mph and 15.4-second, 93-mph quarter-mile run are about a half-second off the pace of the more powerful Nissan Altima 3.5SE. If we were sending the 6 back for alteration, we'd request another 30 or so horses. Of course, with 54 fewer pound-feet of torque on tap than an Altima, hard launches in this car are met with far less jerking and pulling from the steering wheel.

Bend the 6 into a turn, and the quick steering (just 2.5 turns lock-to-lock) points the car intuitively. There's enough weight just off center to keep the car from feeling nervous in a straight line, but enough eagerness to goad the driver into dishing out more of the same. Steering effort builds nicely in corners, and when leaning hard on the Michelin Pilots, they hang on for 0.84 g with little squealing and minimal body roll. Throw some bumps into the turns, and the steering wheel starts to kick back a bit and the suspension loses composure, admitting some muffled bumps and thumps into the structure. Big dips and humps can bottom or top out the suspension travel with a bang, too. Negotiate the same course at the same speed in a quieter Accord V-6, and you'll swear some of the bumps have been filled in or the car was going 10 mph slower.

In several days of hard running, nobody reported so much as a whiff of brake fade, and brake-pedal feel is a paragon of firmness and linearity, thanks to reinforced calipers and lines and a more rigid brake-booster diaphragm. Stopping from 70 mph required a curt 183 feet.

 

great find 6pack, great to find articles and reviews that tell us the pros/cons of vehicles.

I believe that the 2005 mazda6s v6 has the most power out of any of the mazda6 lineups. The 2006 models only have 215 horsepower. the 2005 model of the v6 has 220. Am I correct?

 

The 04 was listed as having 220HP as well.

 

oh whoops, I should have said up to the 2005 car models. Just forgot to mention that... sorry for the miscommunication [:-]

 

what about the 4cyl

 

Ya Ross ; you're right , and as for the HP being more than the 2006 .... well .... the '06 compensates with the extra bit of torque (if I remember correctly 199 lbs on the '06) .... just need to know if they put it low in the powerband where needed .

Here's another portion of the same article to confirm :

"Softly powered?" Not anymore. Our flagship 6 s's 3.0-liter V-6 was born in America as the Duratec but schooled in Japan, where Mazda ginned up new cylinder heads with continuously variable intake-valve timing and swirl-inducing vanes cast in the intake runners. The pistons compress air and regular unleaded down at a 10.0:1 ratio. The cam covers are magnesium, and all accessories bolt directly to the aluminum block to quell the vibes. Peak output is 220 horsepower at 6300 rpm and 192 pound-feet at 5000 rpm — that's respectable in the middling-sedan class, but it's 20 horses off the pace set by V-6 Accords and Altimas.
