The Mazdaspeed6 dosent get enough respect. The Legacy GT is praised while the Mazdaspeed6 languises under poor sales.

All the suburu fanboys praise the Legacy but even Mazda fanboys rarely talk of the 6 or buy the 6.

The times seem a litte off though. The EvoRS is more of a 4.6-4.9second 0-60 while the Mustang is more of a flat 5 and the redline is more of a 5.5second arent they?

it is because IMO the legacy looks 10 times better than the MS6. it looks more sophisticated like the G35, TL, BMW 3's and such.
