Just wondering why you say that? I love the MSPD6.
I did an entire review, but the summary is I think the less nimble/agile handling takes more fun away than the added power gives. I can add power and stiffness to my Mazda6 to get it to be the car I want. I also greatly prefer the appearance of my 5-door (the Mazdaspeed is too bland for me).
Keep in mind, I have performance tires on my Mazda6, and it has gone the 15,000 to 20,000 miles needed for the V6 to provide full power and economy.
I really liked the car, but it's more of a touring sedan than a sport sedan. I can "sport" out my existing 6 much easier.

Question #1 YES!
Question #2 How could we be
Question #3 Why not!?
Question #4 I'm going to participate in the "Wax off"! This has been long overdue here, oh wait, we had one back at SZ02...oh wait, the surface wasn't prepped  LOL! I've come a long way since then and have even changed my allegience, again! Its looking like the main products will be Klasse and Pinnacle, but I'll use my Griots clay bar to "prep" my side of the car  BTW, how are we doing on those "donor cars" Jim  All I gotta say is "BRING IT!"

I really want to get a better look/touch/hear of the options before I pick one exhaust over another. I'm still trying to find all the sound clips, and since the Mazda6club garage is still being upgraded, pics are also a hunt.
Bought from RPM. Awesome vendor!
I will get a sound clip tonight for ya James.

The prepping wasn't done the way some wanted it to be done. It was prepped  As it was for a second test I did last year.

As of right now, I think were going to add a "Best Troll of Show" award for the Show N Shine.

Which brings a moral dilema for Roger. If I have my car detailed by Mr. Detail, should my car not look as good as his?
Roger?

LOL  I'll tell you what Mark, its going to get the same level of attention that my car gets, if you bring it over here, because your the customer and the customer comes first at "The Compound" As far as winning the "Best non-Contour of Show" I wouldn't worry about it too much, well, unless Hector shows up, then its on! Good luck to Hector and Mark in the competition, may the best turbocharged, intercooled, AWD 4 door win
