I just realized that the rims have got to go... but my god that car is sexy. If they turboed the 3.0 with a "real" awd system, then I'd be filling up cups all day.
-1998.5 Contour SE V6 ATX.
PM me to tell me of a welder that can craft me a modified Y pipe in the Los Angeles area! OR I may be willing to buy a 3 flange modified Y.

yes but isn't the 2.3 turboed???? Thats the rumor I read in SCC. I'd much rather have a turbo 4 then a V6.

Yeah it's turboed.
Anyone know the MSRP? I can't find it anywhere.

Yeah, it's turbo'd, but with a horrible top-mounted intercooler.
And there's been absolutely no mention of an MSRP.

looks nice. the price will probably kill it. id prefer a 6cyl. but theyre probably shootin' for weight/mpg thing which i assume explains the part time awd? save gas when not needed? i commend mazda for steppin up to the plate. aside from the competition, this car looks like it would be the roomiest compared to saabaru, evo, neon. it's nice to finally have so many choices in the serious enthusiast category.

You would have thought they learned their lesson with the old WRC car (dont remember the name) that had the top mount IC and it killed that car. The V6 would be sweet but then again it doesnt give them any advantage in the racing dept. and they are now racing the 6 in the speed series with the 2.4L - like the MSP they can use the body work on the race car (homologate).

Sounds cool, but considering a loaded Mazda6S costs around $26K, I can't see this car selling well. Should make quite the bargain once it hits the used car market though.

274 isn't enough? Are you really gonna miss those 26 ponies? 
Anyway on a different note: If there's a top mount intercooler, where's the hoodscoop (ala WRX STi)?
