MS3 vs. MS6

[TinmanMS6]

Nope, the only problem the MS6 will have that the MS3 won't is the rear-end stuff, for obvious reasons...

 

[fastdreams]

There must be some subtle differences. Maybe just in the ECU itself, and maybe some necessary packaging differences.

 

[TinmanMS6]

Yes, there are differences in the ECU, hence the MS6's 274hp and the MS3's 260hp.

 

[ugadogs_11]

So there is no major difference in the engine. I was just makeing shure, because I would definatly look at the speed 3 more if the speed 6 had problems that the speed 3 didn't.

hmm i was searching on the TOP forums and came across this. idk if its a repost but kinda trippy. sorry if this violates the rules for posting other forums but i think this might be suitable for this thread. some1 can ban me if they want...too powerful cars and young kids dont mix. even though we may think we're experienced enough and can handle things, tragedy can strike wit just one stupid move. wit so much power, i'm sure u'll be tempted to push ur car to the max. anyways ya should read it and think about it cause this dude was 2 yrs older than ya. idk anything can happen if u ask me. keep safe and dont do anything stupid. i'm sure u got brains so use them well. ya seem like a more matured dude compared to people i know.

pretty damn rough. hard to read even

 

[protege02]

that's hard to read. when i was 17 i had a supercharged e30 for a short while, and i was so mad when my mom pretty much forced me to sell it, but after like 2 years i got over it and understood why she made me, but i will say, that parents should not under no circumstances give a child a car with no more than 200hp. it's not too slow and it's not 2 fast. 500hp is ridiculously fast in person, and no matter how you look at it, it's fast.

also, i would say speed3 if you plan on racing or autoxin, and speed6 for a daily driver. speed3 would be cheaper than speed6 in the long run.

 

[ugadogs_11]

Yeah I saw that on the forum a few days ago.

So the dealership that I was looking at just sold their last Speed 6, but the other dealership further away still has the one I want. Now is the hard part, picking between the speed 3 and the speed 6. If they give us a good deal.

I think I ended up paying about $23k for my '06 MS6 a little before the '07's came out, so I'd guess they'd go for something similar now. Maybe a bit more if they adjusted production, and considering that this could be the last MS6 we get in the US for a while.

 

[ugadogs_11]

What type of speed 6 did you get, sport or grand touring?

Mine was just a Sport. I am not really a big leather fan.

 

[wwpms6]

haha, smoking started today 10000 miles oh well hopefully mazda will replace it, if not i am sending my extra of to be reworked.

 

[ugadogs_11]

Does anyone know if there are deals on the speed 3?

 

[ugadogs_11]

I don't care about the deals on the speed 3 anymore, because I just picked up a 2007 Mazdaspeed 6.

 

[wmbeaver]
