Mazdaspeed 6 versus Subaru Legacy GT spec B:

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=109487

0-60mph
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 6.1 secs
Legacy GT >> 5.7 secs

1/4 mile
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 14.3 secs
Legacy GT >> 14.1 secs

Slalom
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 68mph
Legacy GT >> 67mph

Skidpad
Mazdaspeed 6 >> .86g
Legacy GT >> .85g

60-0mph Braking
Mazdaspeed 6 >> 120 feet
Legacy GT >> 130 feet

Straight-line accelerations belongs to the Legacy GT with its abundant torque (thanks to its bigger engine) but handling belongs to the Mazdaspeed 6 with its lack of body roll during the slalom run. The overall winner was the Mazda btw.

actually, the 6 has more torque than the the legacy GT...maybe the legacy is quicker because it's lighter and geared more aggressively?

who cares? they'll never bring those in. the local automotive industry dictates that we should be mulling over cheaped-out econoboxes.

there is always hope in the grey market imports.

err...

Honda Accord 3.0L V6, Toyota Camry 3.0L V6, Hyundai Sonata 3.3L V6, Nissan Cefiro 3.0L V6, Mazda6 2.3L

all of these are priced between P1.3M-P1.8M and have enough horsepower for Philippine roads and to break the 200kph mark. the fastest of these (the Accord) will go to 100kph in around 7 secs and the slowest (the Mazda6) will do it under 9 secs.

until mid-size sedans become the mainstream vehicle here, I don't see any reason why to pout on the absence of performance models (such as the Mazdaspeed 6).

and oh - if you are still complaining about the performance of those above mentioned vehicles... any vehicle is virtually available here in the Philippines.. heck, a Carrera GT is even available here.
