All that said, I like the new MS6 alot, and I am truly impressed by the nature of the car. However, it is no muscle car(not that it intends to be...) and should not be treated as one, aka racing people in a straight line. That car would be respected at our local track, but behind the guys back the F-body and Mustang guys would be making fun of it. Just telling you how it is. Keep it where it belongs, the autoX courses and track days.



At 3700lbs the MS6 is a very portly beast and frankly not much fun to toss around. It's probably more at home on the dragstrip where it's very competitive than it is on the autocross course where it really isn't. The actual "muscle car" guys are always gonna make fun of the 4-door semi-luxury sedan that cost $5000 less than their ride but runs mid-13s stock and runs 12s for less than the price of headers on a GT. Nothing you can do about that but let them have their fun while you kick their ass.
