Which would be faster in a quarter mile race? I would think the Mazda should have an edge, but I've noticed some skepticism about it's performance on this forum...

Also, what does the 6 dyno at? I would think it should be able to hit around 180/165... which should put it on par with some of the fastest SVT's before any mods are performed. 5-speed of course...

I ask because I'm in the market for a new car, and I'm considering the 6, but wouldn't overlook a low-mileage SVT if the price was right. Handling and utility are important to me, but so is the ability to run well into the 14s without too much effort.
