2007 MazdaSpeed 6 - does a bolt on only Gen 5.5 Auto stand a chance?
Mazda6
custom exhaust
6 speed manual transmission
19" volk rims
10" subwoofer in the trunk

2002 Maxima
NWP spacer (5 pcs)
JWT popcharger
Transgo HD2 kit
All mounts changed
Coilovers
Enkei RPF1 18" rims
Custom 2.5" exhaust but everything after flex pipe is still stock
No tune
12" subwoofer in the trunk

Any insight?

Yes, you stand a chance at the track. I've raced and beat them before at the track with less mods than I have now. Car and Driver magazine got a 14.0 in the quarter with the car. Other people have run faster stock, but many people have no clue how to launch an AWD car at a drag strip. You should lose, but hope the driver of the Speed 6 can't drive it correctly.

Car got its *** wiped but it was wet out so didn't do anything too stupid

the maxima has like zero grip when you floor the gas pedal with wet road compared to the mazda. My tires are Cooper RS3-A (new)

Hey

does the car leaving two skid marks on the road indicate the auto has some kind of LSD feature?
