OK, so..if the MS6 didnt exist, what car would you have bought instead? Me...probably a Mustang GT 06 since it has the sme power and price range.

Now, another question. When it is time for you to sell/trade in your MS6...what car will you get? (noting that the MS6 is no longer in production)

To me, i dont know...i wouldve to see the new generation, but im guessing this would happen around 08-09 since i roll alot over here...gotta sell it before it wears out ya know? hehe. If thats the case, my options would be: Evo X, STi, Mustang GT, New Dodge CHallenger (spring 08), New Camaro (if its 2009), or the Pointiac G8.

Probably would've got a 6s. The only reason I got myself into an MS6 was because I was thinking about buying a 6s.

My next car will be electric. Full torque all the time is a very attractive characteristic of electric motors.

Speculatory question. No way of knowing what will be available then and how the specs will change. I know that we were at the dealership the other day turning in my 6s lease and looked at the CX-7. The woman seems to like it a lot and I wouldn't mind getting that for her in a couple years.

if i didnt get the ms6 i actually would have purchased a 07 civic si. i had a depo on it but the ended up getting the ms6 for 400 more then i would have got the si for. it was a no brainer. i purchased what i could afford. for the next vehicle, its really hard to say since soo mny new cars are coming out and even the ones im not particularly fond of are getting much better. ie. the 08 honda accord coupe. my brother in law has a 03 v6 6 spd accord coupe nd its actually a sweet ride. but by the time im ready fore a new vehicle the average sedan will prolly have 300 hp and there will be a few more cars on the market. i would love to pick up a camaro.

G35 coupe or sedan...

I liked the coupe, my wife liked the sedan. Either way I'd have the 6M and handling package with it.

My selling of this car is years off...and cars can change a lot in that time frame. I can state that I'll be buying a Cooper Mini Vert with the S/C within the next year...mainly cause the wife wants it though.

Had a deal on a used Cadillac CTS-V. Nice car on paper, but the crappy interior killed that purchase. If the Speed6 didn't exist, I probably would have gone with a Civic Si or a used AWD G35 sedan.

What's next? Who knows. If Infiniti ever put AWD under the G35 coupe and kept it under $40k, I'd trade the 6 tomorrow. Barring that, a used S4 might be nice.

My brother had a WRX a few years ago. I barrowed it often when he was out of the country on business trips. I fell in love with it, and was bent on getting one someday. The MS6 was just a better value (as is the MS3, which is what I went to the dealer for). So, if I hadn't test drove the MS6, and if the deal with the MS3 hadn't worked out, I'd definately be in a brand new Scoobie Rex right about now.

Second choice would have been a Legacy GT. As for my next car, I guess no one does this anymore apparently, but I keep my cars for AT LEAST 10 years. For this reason I can't really speculate on what I'd get then...

I bought a '92 Mustang GT in 1993 and I just got a new car in December of '06 (MS6). I've been a Mustang guy for years, but I think the new body style looks like ass. I realize I'm in the minority in this thinking though...

I was going to get a Legacy GT Limited... I was seriously considering a lightly used one that was loaded and has about 20k miles on it. I was going to immediately add Access Port, intake, exhaust to it. It definitely would have been a cheap go fast sedan for about $23k... and I wouldn't be waiting for tuning. I also liked the WRX STi Limited, but it is a bit small. Overall, I am glad I chose the MS6. I also considered waiting to compare the '07 G35 sedans, and considered waiting to compare the MS3, though I really wanted RWD or AWD.

I wanted a

2000 nissan Maxima - Classic body style :drool: 250+ hp in a NA engine LOVELY
A Mazda6s - Manual ofcourse
Used BMW Miii
G35 coupe style baby
GTO Faster off the line than a MS6
Subaru WRX

BTW two cars in there are jokes...can you guess which one's? ^_~

I was looking at an 06 STi, 03 STi (used but very low miles), another Evo, Cobalt SS (until I saw the interior and laughed my way off the lot), and an Enzo (if that damn lotto ticket would've paid off).

Hopefully, I'll be making more money when I'm finished with the MS6 (I buy, build, and sell), so I'll probably be looking at the GT-R when it gets here or the new Camaro. I might pick up a little side project R33 though in the next couple weeks.

My second choice would have been the cx-7 or the rx8. As for my next car. I have decided on getting the 300 SRT8 or the Charger SRT8. 425 HP! Nice... But that is because my wife wants that one. I always wanted to try an EVO, but just didin't like the attention it brought. I am glad the MS6 is collective yet responsive when it comes to power. Cant wait to continue modding, cuase my baby is a keeper til she BLOWS!!!
