What mods would it take to keep up with or
beat... a Mazda 6s?

I'm an automatic '98 SE... already have y-pipe.
Frankencar w/ K&N is on order.

Will that do... ??

 

you should actually run with it, eventhough they had 210 i beleive hp not to impressive for times.

 

Actually, they have 220hp but only 192lbft. If the 6 is a 5speed, which many are, you may have a tough time, but it will be a good race, more dependant on the driver of the 6 since your auto. You may get him on the luanch, but i believe their equipted with variable valve timing, so look for them to catch up quickly and pass...

A 5speed 6 and Max would be a good race..

 

i think teh 5spd would have the advantage off the line actually...being able to actually launch.

 

i tested the auto 6 at mazda rev it up, it's no way faster than an auto 4th gen...dont know about the manual tho...i believe it's rated at 220hp, don't feel like it tho

 

I've read the specs... the car is a bit heavier... (300 lbs more)
the torque as previously stated... 192@5000rpm... it does have
sportronic & the variable timing ...

I'm wondering what the car dynos at...

Oh and it's a Ford engine

Thanks for the replies... I'll probably
race it in a month when my friends come up.
Should be fun...

 

jaguars got ford engines too, but they run great

 

I thought they only used Ford chassis'.
