I have to laugh as I used to pull up next to big hot GT500s at stop lights in my AWD Mazdaspeed 6 gt and drop the clutch right at torque sweet spot at 2700 rpm and my car would jump off line with no wheel spin. gT500 drivers would be squealing tires behind me and not catch me until middle of second gear. Then they would want to do stupid stuff to prove their cars were faster.

These over 500 hp Mustangs are just stupid. I guess if you live for Drag racing a at the track it would be ok? ....but Really? 600 + hp in piece o crap mustang? I know it's been done for years but why not focus on making the car handle? Pull weight out etc.

ford is really disappointing me.
Let's do a quick off the line sprint just for fun

As for the story, I call BS. I've never seen a streetable Mazda 6. Did you detune it? How would you even register it?

Huh? Plenty of street legal Mazdaspeed 6s . Here watch a few of this guys runs. Not many people know about these cars. Direct injected 2.3 liter turbo. Essentially Mazda version of Ford 4 cylinder with a turbo. Torque monsters with granny gears for first and second.
