To be honest, when it comes to performance, original intent has very little to do with the bottom line. Does anyone doubt the numbers that the EVO and the STI put up? These cars were not built to be sports cars, but they do a damn good job in the end. So the fact that the 6 was not designed to be a sports car has little to do with comparing it to the 8. If the production version of the MS 6 is faster than the 8 (which at this time it does not appear to be), and it can handle, it would be a better sports car.

All that being said, cars designed to be sports cars generally look better! However that does not mean they are faster.

Does anyone know if the MS-6’s engine could handle a larger turbo? If so the 6 would definitely cut into those looking to tune their cars.

I understand that those cars perform well, but to me being based on a much less inexpensive car tants it a tad--again thats me. The MS6 being much larger and heavier also seems that It wouldn't be a common comparsion.
