Which would you choose?
Here's the deal, I'm done with building Mustangs. I always wanted to build a small displacement powerplant and I'm liking the import selections (old school)...
I have had several Starions and love them, never really built one up. In fact I just sold the one in my sig a few months ago. I might have a deal worked out to get another one.
Recently while browsing through craigslist I found a 96 Mazda MX6. I got it for 400 bucks, replaced the distributor and have great car. I wasn't sure about this one, but I am taken by it. It's fun, cool looking, great handling and shows potential in the power dept.
I know it comes down to preference, but given the two choices, which would you choose?

^ hey I think the Mazda is pretty cool, it's fun to drive. I wasn't expecting to actually like it but I have grown to appreciate the car.
They both have their strong and weak points... to me it's a hard choice. If I'd never driven the Mazda, I'd be full on with the Starion- no question

Yea i choose starion cuz i am a DSM fan BUT I did have a friend with an MX6 puttin down large number on a garrett t3/t4 slightly built motor at about 10 psi but his range was about 22 psi but I never saw it that much. Either car is a great build but i'd go with tha starion it rwd and already turboed. just my .02 . Hope I helped!
