eclipse GT vs Mazda speed 6

[logan]

so my buddy just bought a mazda speed 6 and was pretty happy about it since he owned a BMW Z4 awhile back ago and my car would walk all over it, so with his new mazda he was dead set that his newly found boosted car would take me down, well we did a 40 roll since it was raining out and he has AWD and his car leaped forward a bit and was pulling ahead until i got higher into 3rd and into 4th and jst kept going farther and farther ahead of him, lets jst say he went home and ordered a few things to turn up his boost to 20 LOLS MIVEC RAPE!!!! FTW BITCHES

Very Nice!! And nicer still that it didn't turned out as one of those "can I beat it?" thread. What are the mods on each car?

[logan]

mazda is stock and my eclipse has obx long tube headers and straight pipe all the way and AEM CAI

[BoRiCuAGT]

^^ OK, Thanks for the answer!

[logan]

yeah i was quite surprised at the power i get with no cats or anything and jst those big headers all the way through with a intake

[BoRiCuAGT]

I think it's a very nasty combination, ready to put some hurt on a wide variety of vehicles.

What part of maryland or you in?

[logan]

as west as you can get near frostburg area ish / not to far from garrett county area lol

Idk man I race my bros speed6 and im always a few cars ahead till we hit triple digits then he pulls me back....His car is stock but It runs better then most other stock speed6's (probably cause its taken care of)

I drive his car all the time and it pulls better on top end then the GT. Also next time you run the speed6 tell him to pull the E-Brake up One click when racing from a roll..... (It will be FWD at all times)

[logan]

yeah like from 40 to 55 he was ahead but once i hit about 60 to 90 i was ahead and kept gaining very good distance yeah i figured his AWD would screw him in the end lol

Hmmmmm interesting....

[rgv4]

Lol no. I dont think logans friend knows how to drive. Im not being biased. I had a gt with a 100 shit and i still think the speed is quicker

[logan]

na dude he knows how to drive i even got in it and drove it and my friend drove my car and the mazda owner drove my buddys srt4 and it still turned out srt4 1st eclipse 2 and mazda in last

[rgv4]

Hmmmm idk. Then again im heavily modded after just 4 months

haha yeah he was trying for a week to get that thing to spin they get very good grip lol

[logan]

lol yeah his is straight up factory stock 6speed

[rgv4]

Speed6 stock can hit 13.8. He must have a big problem sumwhere. Either boost leak, problem with the vvt, or timing chain. Those are the 3 problems they usually have.

[logan]

2006 Mazda Mazdaspeed 6 0-60 mph 5.7 Quarter mile 14.4

2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT (V6) 0-60 mph 6.0 Quarter mile 14.3

now we can see the part were we both weigh about the same and the fact that i have modifications done to my car when his car is stock

[rgv4]

But u guys did a 40 roll not a 1/4 mile. I dont mean to bring u down or sound like a dick btw. Its just hard to believe that you beat him by so much. And i dont mean it like im calling your story a lie, i just mean it like i know something is wrong with ur friends car. The gt is quick, i know it is. But hey, this means your a good driver

[logan]

well its not like we did a really long race only like from 40 - 90 i think by the time it was over i shifted into 5th going into 90 for finish and was about a car ahead

[rgv4]

Oh ok. Yeah i think your a better driver then. Which is always good haha. I always wanted to compare my speed6 againt my old gt. Man i miss her :/

[logan]

big engines are were its at man, plus when you boost them its even better! i mean if both cars weighed 800 pounds less then they be pushing all kinds of greatness out of them

[rgv4]

The only crappy thing is that the gt is limited by its ecu....if cobb could of broken it then the eclipse would own. But the ecu will always be a problem. Yeah you can boost it but you cant boost much. I respect those who havent blown their boosted motors. I ran that 100 shot for about 10 bottles, and they were 10 lb bottles too. But i dont regret getting my speed.

[logan]

yeah thats kind of a crappy thing but not too bad in general until you either get a car thats good for modifying or something better

[BoRiCuAGT]

I believe Logan, here I uploaded two videos of roll-acceleration of a MazdaSpeed 6, both show more or less the same results. The OP didn't post what mods, if any, he/she has on his/her rides, let's assume it's stock. I also uploaded a video of a run that I did with my GT; at the moment I had the TB by-pass, that's it. Everyone knows that that mod doesn't yield any HP gain, but I want to be honest, and that's what my car have. I want you to compare the times from 60 MPH to 100 MPH aprox. ( 7.5 secs. for the GT, 8.18 secs. and 8.38 secs. for the Speed 6) and the times from 100 MPH to 110 MPH, again an aproximation ( 2.7 secs. for the GT, 3.08 secs. and 3.40 secs. for the Speed 6). In my opinion, it shows that the GT pulls harder from a roll.



















I also watched other videos of stock MazdaSpeed 6 runs, and they were worse than this. If the Speed 6 Logan raced was stock, I don't see why he would lose.

[rgv4]

I think ill record.a vid tomorrow if i can.

[logan]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ oh man thats pretty legit right there dude lol thanks for the videos but na im not taking any offense to it at all cause to be honest all my friends thought i was going to get straight up raped by that mazda cause of the turbo and all the stats and such but then once it went down to the road and we did it while it was raining and had been raining BAD i might add i still came through very surprising and won, now shit if i get that puppy tuned itll be a whole nother story of me tearing down even more cars, but i think this eclipse is better of with jst what it has on it now and getting a faster lighter brother lol if anyone as any suggestions that arent a second gen eclipse lol

im up for suggestions

no doubt about that, if its dry ill get my budddy to hold my iphone 4s and do some vids for my while i drive lol pretty much impossible unless i tape the phone to my face lol

[rgv4]

Helmet cam lmfao. But im tuned stage 2 :/

[logan]

rofl yeah but when he comes back this summer from Florida its gonna be tough race cause he will have a boost controller on it and have it turned up as high as he can without killing it and some other mods like intake and come bigger piping eventually on the piping but he will have that bitch cranked up

[rgv4]

Zoom zoom and boom. Give him this advice: kmd fuel pump internals, intake, fmic, differential mounts, rear motor mount, racepipe or down pipe, and a cobb access port tuned to stage 2 on 93 octane

[rgv4]

He will blow up his engine if he does wat u say hes gonna do

[logan]

^^^ rofl im actually telling him this on facebook right now lols

[logan]

you got any pics of your mazda and or like a page or something to it with some dyno numbers facebook or somthing lol my buddy is wondering

[rgv4]

Lmfao with the cobb ap he will be at 19psi. The stock k04 turbo cant handle more than 18 if its not tuned. I spike to 22psi

But if you get the video, it will be proof of what a modded Speed 6 can do, not what a stock one can do. There should be a huge difference. Still, I would like to see the video, because I'm a car enthusiast in general, and an acceleration freak, and I would love to see how fast that nice Speed 6 can go.

[logan]

yeah and ill deffently put some up of mine so people can see what it does and what it sounds like with jst headers and AEM CAI intake on her

[rgv4]

Ill post a vid as soon as i can man. I share ur passion. I feel like racing now. My car is the ultimate sleeper
