mazdas have shorter gears which gives it a head start. <P>I believe that the weight in the manual is with all passengers and full tank of gas.<P>mustangs really weigh 3500+ that is why they need v8s

Well, According to that the engine name is the KL-01. The KL-01 was put in the Aniversary (excuse my spelling, I just got home from work) Edition MX-6's. Which my brother has. Once I find that site which stated the HP I'll post it with this message. And yes, what I stated about the K8 being 110HP, I was correct in a way cause it is around 110HP at the wheels. And Second off, How could a MX-6 with only 170 HP (and it's stock) beat a 2003 Mustang V6 at 220HP? and I don't mean barley, I mean it whooped it. it must Mean that it has to have more power. So what ever you think go ahead, my brother has his car parked right outside, if I had a digital camera I'd go take a picture of it right now.</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I've beat the new V6 stangs before, with the K8. It was a Manual too. They're quite heavy, and with a bad driver, it's possible. I also beat a 260whp Eclipse once, but again, that does not mean I had 261whp. That just means I out drove him, which is nothing to be ashamed of, though I had less than half his whp. <P>KLDE's came with 164-170bhp.<BR>KLZE's came with 197bhp.<BR>KL01's are a misnomer for KLDE's. <P>Tell your brother to join Probetalk and post his dyno charts for everybody there to see his 165-170whp [from 190bhp] MX-6 Anniversary edition. MX-6's weigh at least 800# less than the stang. That's going to make 60hp worth of difference, especially coupled with the 205/55/15 stock tire size and broad torque curve. <P>It's ok to be wrong, and hey, you're getting pretty good at it.<P> [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
