This car would be perfect with a 6-cyl engine and RWD.
sounds like a way to make it needlessly more expensive and heavier making it objectively worse than stock
>>17834843
RWD is simpler than FWD
>>17834868
except it isn't???? rwd requires a long driveshaft and edtra components
>>17834868
maybe easier to work on but its heavier and more expensive to implement
its one of the main reasons FF is so common now
mazda doesn't make v6's the only ones they used before were ferd engines although the millennia had a interesting v6 motor
>>17834932
Might have meant straight-six you nong.
Also, Mazdas need dorito power.

>This car would be perfect with a 6-cyl engine and RWD.
Not really.
It's already a nice car. Mazda squeezed out as much power as they could with the Skyactiv so you won't be seeing much of a power increase for a good year or two when turbo kits start being developed.
>>17834809
>perfect car
>not mid engine with rear wheel steering and 4WD
Try again
>>17834809
So it's unusable in winter?
>>17835177
RWD isn't even that bad if you've got good winter tires.
>>17835183
But FWD is beter, as you have more weight on the wheels.
mazda should go back to making small cute V6s
>>17835293
who actually bought one of these?
>>17834809
Mazda can't afford making it RWD. :^)
No rx-9 for you
>>17835340
They are rather plentiful over here. Mostly the 1.8 v6. Cheap too.
>>17835340
I, it was my first car, they're dirt cheap in slavland
>>17835186
Have fun understeering into a wall.
>>17835177
Get an AWD model then.
>>17834868
You are fucking stupid
>>17834809
>>17835418
Have fun over steering and spinning out all over the track
>>17835183
And if you put winter tires on the fwd it'll be even better
>>17834809
Nah
Knowing Mazda the 6 cylinder would make only 210hp
Their 2L engine makes only 155
Other 2L make much more
>>17835701
Please Mazda had a 2.5l V6 that made ~200hp over 20 years ago.
>>17834932
>v6
Fuck off
ONLY INLINE 6
>>17835664
srsly tho...
this is my guilty pleasure i love that thing.
>>17835664
this actually looks like one of the better commodore replacements and I can't wait
>>17835664
>A FUCKING KIA
They used to make knockoff mazda, so you're basically right.
>>17835664
>>17835018
THAT car would be perfect with a V8 and RWD
>>17835701
A 2.5L with turbo will make 210hp.
>>17835177
Snow tires
>>17835664
I will have one. It will be tuned before I put one mile on it. I am strong and brave.
>>17835900
A 2L with high compression will make 210. See the old Honda civic si and gt86
>>17835900
An NA 2.5L should make 210+ HP.
This isn't 2001
>>17835928
high compression in a 2l skyactiv will cause it to detonate.
>>17835940
not talking about na.
>>17835958
No, you're talking about requiring a fucking turbo to make 210hp.
I am talking about NA, and that it SHOULD be able to make 210 WITHOUT a turbo.
>>17835966
you brought up na as if thats what we were discussing, keep up buddy.
>>17835972
The original post you replied to was talking about NA.
>>17834809
So basically a Q50?
>>17836043
But lighter.
