Friends new ride!

[Halon]

For those of you that know my good friend Derek, he's the skinny white guy with the white 89 RX7 that has met most of you guys. Well he finally got rid of his old Civic daily driver, and just picked this up today from Morries. Pretty nice upgrade from his civic I'd say. Wish my daily driver was this nice!

MazdaSpeed 6, duh!!

Looks nice! How do they take to mods?

MazdaSpeed 6, duh!!

I was kidding. I have driven a few of these at Tires Plus. Nice cars, power band is good down low, they kind of poop out on the top end though but they handle awesome.

To be honest, it was a bit slower than I thought it was going to be. But you're exactly right. the first 2 gears pull real nice, but kinda lacking in the higher gears. It would be ahorrible DD for me because I'd be figuring out what to mod already. But he says he isn't going to mod it at all. Either way, it's still quick for it's class, and is just overall very nice.

And ya, it's a Mazdaspeed 6. He bought it with 26 miles on it! They haven't been selling well it seems, so they are going for pretty cheap now. He paid slightly more then what SRT4's were going for new a couple years back, and it's a much nicer car in my opinion.

Can't complain for a daily driver!

Just out of curiosity, do you remember the name of the salesman your buddy went through??

I know most of the sales staff there and was just wondering.

I love those cars as well. I think Nash was even looking at one while evo hunting.

[Halon]

I don't know the salesman's name, but he drives a Prelude apparently. Oh and you can see him in the second picture kinda.

Sweet car. I really like them, but have never driven one. The NA 2.3 is a good engine, so turboed with direct injection it should be even better.
