    Dangerous Winter Vehicle

    Are they the Bridgestone Turanza EL42 or one of the Goodyear models (I found the Eagle RS-A and Eagle ResponseEdge)? I was looking at the ratings for OE tires on the CX-7 at Tire Rack and most of them have really crappy snow ratings. Sorry to hear that. I like the CX-7 too. Are you 100% sure...

    All-seasons or winter/summer set

    Here's the deal. I live in the Phoenix area so for the most part, picking tires is easy: Summer all year. And this was fine with my Boxster because we never took it anywhere that had snow or ice or really cold weather. However the MS6 is much more conducive to road trips, especially to the...

    which wheels

    18lbs, eh? Titanium you say? Well that's easy then: Go with #1! Best looking wheels, and light! Where did you find those and how much? Your car will be rockin' all kinds of precious metals then: Platinum, titanium. Put a diamond on the hood and you got yourself a Mazdaspeed 6 ring.

    Meth Injection ? MS6

    I dunno man. Meth is a hell of a drug. Yeah your MS6 may just seem like it only needs it on occasion just to fit in with the EVOs and STIs down at the track, but before you know it you'll find it letting other cars draft behind it during a race, sharing other cars meth bottles getting who knows...

    Thinking of putting these wheels on my speed6

    Those would look excellent. Nice design. Unique but not too flashy.

    which wheels

    Is number one black, or is it like a dark gray? If it's gray or silver I like the spoke pattern better (looks a bit like a set Porsche 911 GT2 wheels), but if they're black I would go with #3. Black rims just look like they're dirty IMO. And gold will just look cheap. So got with #1 in...

    Black Paint

    I've owned 2 dark colored cars (dark blue and black), and 1 light colored one (silver). Here's what I think on black: Pros: -Looks classy. Black cars tend to make the whole car feel more expensive and upscale. -Projects an image of success. I don't remember where I read it but it was an...

    '08 Tokyo Auto Salon hints at new MS6 in the works

    It's gotta be a turbo. I can't imagine they would try round 2 for the MS6 and make it NA. That V6 will probably go to the standard 6 and the MS6 2.0 will get a bump to at least 300hp. My guess anyway. Of course they could turbo-charge the V6. How well does a V6 respond to turbo-charging...

    Moved from a 2002 Boxster S to 2006 MS6 GT...my thoughts

    Actually, my fiancee is looking at getting a Mazda3. I told her she should get an MS3, but says she doesn't need all that and would rather just have the standard 3. Meh, each to their own. I like the MS3 and all, but I really wanted an AWD sports sedan. The lady and I love to ski and I...

    Moved from a 2002 Boxster S to 2006 MS6 GT...my thoughts

    Yup. Ze Germans know how to make beautiful and phenomenally well-handling cars. But they can't seem to make them cheap to fix or maintain. :-) Porsche is probably the worst in that respect. when I traded the car, the rear window in the Boxster had cracked, and that was going to be loads of...

    Moved from a 2002 Boxster S to 2006 MS6 GT...my thoughts

    Thanks for the welcome. The think about Porsche is they have lots more fans than drivers. I am one of the lucky ones that was both a fan and a driver. And I still am. If I got 1 wish to pick any car where insurance, gas, maintenance, and repair costs were not a problem, it would be a...

    Moved from a 2002 Boxster S to 2006 MS6 GT...my thoughts

    So I recently acquired my 2006 MS6 GT from a Chevy dealer when I traded in my Boxster. I had been trying to sell the thing for awhile but the market for Boxsters is crap. You can usually sell the 911 variants for a good price and many of the more in-demand versions can become more valuable...

    What did you guys pay for the MS6?

    2006 GT in Black Mica, 12,000 miles. No upgrades that I am aware of (not even wheel locks!), but honestly with the GT there is not much else you can add. I paid $19,994. I don't think the dealer realized it was a GT and not a Sport (Chevy dealer). They even listed it as a Sport. With a...
