MX-6 vs. Protege DX

No Predictions, Just Opinions, Here!
I won't jump in with any predictions in a race, but will say that I always liked the MX-6. I still see many driving around town and I still think they look cool, even though they're not new anymore. They were good cars, evident by how many are still on the road...
By the way, just a point of random information: The MX-6 was built in the Auto Alliance International plant in Flat Rock, Michigan; the same place where they're currently making the 626, and where the Mazda6 will be built.

ProtegeMaster, the '91 MX-6 doesn't look that great. You're probably thinking of the sleeker looking ones that came out in '92 I think with the last one being produced as a '96 model. I always liked the look of them too.

first of all sweedenhouse you ARE a hater,I see it in your posts all the time...btw,I changed to white LED's they are legal....second I whooped his *** by a car length and a half....he started to get me off the line(had to be the extra torque) but as soon as I started to rev high in second(dont know the rpms,no tach in my dx ),I pulled hard on him,then when i shifted to third i pulled away and all he saw was tailights....again thx for your support guys..... -haters!

Hah no, I'm not a hater. I just like to get reactions out of people, and I cant help it if I say what's on my mind. I don't hold back what I have to say to spare someone their feelings. If someone has a ride that I think is sweet I'll compliment. If I see somehting that I think is crap, I let people know my opinion. And its just that my opinion. So if being able to freely express what I think and feel, makes me a hater, well then whatever, by your definition I guess I'm a hater.
Anyway congratulations on your win, but those washer lights are still rice.

You're Sure?
My understanding is that the MX-6 was, appearance wise, unchanged from 1990 to 1992. It was redesigned for the 1993 model year. Anyway, it is this particular model that I was talking about-- I like their looks. The '93-'97 MX-6 was okay, I guess, but I think it looked too much like a friggin' Ford Taurus. Too "bubble" looking, in my opinion. Yeesh...

Yes we are so happy for you that you defeated a car that is breaking down His car in good condition (which we all assumed) would have prolly beat you, but since he had an oil leak amongst other things, I would hope that you won

geez....you spent tons of money on a car worth all of..wait lets see,my black book lists you at...ok here we go $2500...ok If I really want to beat your a$$,I'll go back and stick with the 280Z....John @ Z-Docs tells me he can swap in a Chevy 350 for about $1000....so $1000 for a good condition '78 280Z with no motor,about $1000 for the 350 with auto tranny,and another $1000 for the install...no turbo,no FI period,probably even less hp...but thats a total of $3000 for the whole job and I have a car that will run the 1/4 in 10 flat....but issuing challenges to a little 1.6L DX with any turbo...now that takes REAL brass *****

$3000 for a FI 350? haha Do you plan on doing any internal work at all? Or just go FI on the stock internals? That will last about a week I doubt your stock 280z could take my accord, I ran a 13.8 about a month ago, your 280z wont hit that without the V8 swap. I know the 280z has potential for a huge motor swap, but lets be realistic save your $3000 and soon to be blown motor and buy an LT1. As for my $2500 9 second hatch sitting there, blue book means nothing on a modded car, dumbass If people sold their cars for blue book I could prolly get your little 280z for less than the 93 hatch It takes brass ***** to talk about cars that you "had" and try to pick races with a overweight accord
