RayDhaIn Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Just went to the local borders, saw they have the new speed magazine, and they have Audi 2.0t, LGT spec.B, and MS6 comparison! Spec.B ranked 2nd though, from 200 total points, the differences between spec.B and MS6 (1st) is only like 1.5 point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakuun Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I hate comparos.. chances are the 1.5 difference mainly came from the 24 more ponies the MS6 comes with. I wonder what the WHP of the MS6 turns into when it's AWD engages. rofl.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wukindada Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I use the MS6 to wipe my A$$ with;) No wonder it's so heavy! Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodoo-chile Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Well in another article (C&D I believe) tehy tested under $30k sport sedans. The LGT was not included this year. thes test included the Honda Accord V6/6mt, the Acura TSX, VW GSL, Pontiac G6, and the MS6. THe MS6 came in 4th and other than the power (comparitively speaking to the other cars in the comparo) the MS6 wasn not to highly regarded. From what I read, I thought the regular LGT would have done well in taht comparo. Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaa Kaa Man Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Well, having read that comparison, I think it's completely clear that the MazaSpeed 6 is the superior car and the superior performance vehicle. I think it's time that all of us admit this and that we bow our head to the performance King: the MazaSpeed 6. I invite all the members of the MazdaSpeed 6 Web site to copy this posting since I speak for a lot of us on this Legacy GT site when I say: Hail to the King, the MazdaSpeed 6!!!!!

I invite all the members of the MazdaSpeed 6 Web site to copy this posting since I speak for a lot of us on this Legacy GT site when I say: Hail to the King, the MazdaSpeed 6!!!!! In some respects I kinda agree. If I had to keep a car stock I would likely get a MS6. Modded: LGT all the way.

crex Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 i read the article... they said it was so close between the mazda 6 and the legacy gt spec b that it really came down to preference. Basically, drive them both and get which one you prefer most. The Legacy did post quicker 0-60 acceleration times (5.5 seconds I think) but the mazda 6 would then gain ground after 60 but overall accerlation was about equal. Also, they liked the interior of the spec b better and said it was on par with the audi. I think the styling points went more towards the ms 6. Out of 200 points, it was only a 1.5 point difference and a lot of it was subjective ratings like style.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintinet Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Thanks for the info. I'm really interested in the how they rated the handling performance of the Spec B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayDhaIn Posted December 27, 2005 Author Share Posted December 27, 2005 Sorry, i didn't buy the magazine as i didn't have much time there... If i remember correctly both spec.B and MS6 have 14.2 sec 1/4 time, have almost similar skidpad (around .82ish) but MS6 is a lil bit higher. I think MS6 also have the braking test shorter. In the article the editor did mention that LGT has better potential to be modded though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaa Kaa Man Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 No matter how you cut it, the Mazda outpointed the Subaru. If Subaru had scored 1.5 points higher, I'm sure everyone on this site would be crowing about how the Subaru "beat" the Mazda. So turnabout is fair play. All Hail King Mazda!!!

tintinet Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Thanks for the additional info. Were there specific comments about how the Spec B handled in comparison to the standard LGT and/or the MS6 (i.e. tendency of tail of car to break loose, etc.)?

specinvstr Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I know some people will get sensitive over a study showing the Mazda is better, but sheesh.... lol. Anyway, there is another comparo lingering in one of the car mags of the MS6 versus the Spec B where...the Spec B comes out on top. It is one of the mainstream auto rags (automobile, road and track, motor trend, car and driver). Fire away boys.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
