Hey Jamie.. I have only on the rug with rubber tires. I did notice the speed body a lot more aggressive on entry and mid corner while the 6 a lot more smooth all around with still good turn in. A great body to try is the Parma M body also,great ballance with awsome high speed turn in without loosing the rear.. 
So Speed lot less forgiving and more twitchy.. Mazda 6 more smooth..Parma M great turn in and smooth feel..

i have 2 mazda 6's and 1 mazda speed 6....i use them both on my xxx-s i switch them around...i personally cant tell a diffrence between the 2....i run outdoor asphalt rubber tires 19t....maybe im not fast enough or not enough traction to notice a big diffrence either way youll be satisfied with any of the 6's

i have tested both bodies now for about 2 months.
my result:
speed 6 more forgiving, little less steering, a bit more unprecise
m6 more steering, more precise
m6 ligthweight balance like m6 but a bit easier, less roll, my most favourit at the moment

car was a yok bdm by the way with a 5cell gm brushless modified combo. 3,5T most of the time.

I've run them both. The Speed 6 body does have more front d/f
than the old 6. I found that moving the wing back one or two notches
adjusted the balance nicely--even with cutting on the smaller lines.
Plus, use the cut outs, they increase the wing's effectiveness.
I've noticed the same w/ the DNA2
Rule of thumb: Small/technical track= wing forward, longer/flowing track= wing back
With these adjs, the bodies have way more overall "stick" than the std 6 or DNA.
...OR, if you're club racing, you could run the old 6 wing full size with the spill plates and above adjs...
Hope this helps!

There is a lot to be said for personal pref/driving styles...maybe the most
important factor (considering "proven bodies").
One additional thing to play with is mounting the body a little fore or aft..
The lip on the front of the Speed 6 is much longer and the grill is more abrupt, too--as well as the rear deck length...
This, in combo with the angle of the body, are significant...
