The speed6 is faster 9 times out of 10 because it can get the power to the ground, and with an AWD launch, it takes far too long to catch up... Around a road course, it'll probably be a close race, but I think I'd prefer to drive the 3... For everyday driving, I'd take the 6, i'm done with FWD... And for the record, i have driven both cars EXTENSIVELY in both race track (not a straight line) and daily driving...

I was grinning ear to ear through the whole test drive. I think the brakes are as good if not better than the Shinka that I had......and the seats are definitely better.

Welcome to my world (and even RX8club too, I suppose)!

I couldn't believe how fast they made the MS3 when I first drove it. After that drive, I didn't really want anything else in the price range, I was hooked. It's definitely a fun drive, but over time I've found that I almost never seem to enjoy shooting down a winding road as much as when I had my 8. It's a greatoked up and pulled. I did like the MS6 a lot.....but it just didn't have the same fun factor as the MS3. IMO, for street driving, it's better to feel like your driving faster than you are. handler, surely better than most in its class, but it just starts to feel too big as you start to weave around. On the upside, I've found it's VERY easy to heel-toe in the 3 once you figure out the most efficient way.
