considering a speed6...

[coyfish]

definetly, a speed6 weights like 4-500lbs more than a speed3 so what you will make up in sweeter launching car, you will lose with extra weigth and drivetrain loss at speed on the highway.

Even a wrx has a more mod friendly engine and aftermarket set up. An sti or evo will be similar and definitely more fun in the snow and faster than a speed6

My speed 6 destroys lightly modded evo's and sti's. And I can do it with seat warmers, good sound, comfy seats, no noise. I almost got an evo 8 which I sometimes regret but I can tell you one thing. They are not comfortable. You feel every bump, outside noise, hard seats, . . . very plain. You get in the speed 6 and you are like wow . . . this is a nice little setup. Get into an evo and your like . . . wtf is this a chevy cobalt? The new exo X's are nicer on the inside but look like crap on the outside /:. Both cars have their pro's and cons.

If you're looking into getting a speed6 simply because of snow problems, just get snow tires. I drove last winter with the summers on (don't ask me how) and it was ok, because our winter wasn't that bad. Got snow tires this winter and thank god I got them. I used to drive an old subaru impreza, crappy put-put motor, but great in the snow. I can honestly tell you that the speed3 with snow tires on is a huge improvement. I never fishtailed or lost traction, once! not joking. Shell out 400 bucks and just get snow tires.
