S4 Automatic FTMFL. S4 6-speed is the shit.

does every little tenth really matter? last time i checked, the cars that were fastest out of the factory don't necessarily have the 'best' overall drive... plus i'd imagine the s4 and g35 to have a much bigger advantage in the aftermarket tuning game than the mazda...

i called a few automotive repair shops around here and talked with my friend who goes to mechanic school about the cars and got his input. He said the S4 unless i've got 3k in the bank at all time to fix anything that goes wrong he'd pass so it's out. The upgrade department doesn't matter as i'm not looking to do a lot to it. If i did anything to a g35 it'd have to be in the coupe and i can't get a coupe as i need the parents co-sign and b/c i'm 6'3 and nobody could sit behind me, they won't cosign. it's gay but i need their signature so i can get a 3-4% interest rate

S4's are badass! then again im an audi guy, then again, audi's are expensive to fix, and tend to have problems if they havent been properly maintained, you could also chip that motor to around 310hp/380lbs. or so //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

id probably go with the audi, but if you can afford a new speed6(awesome car, very quick and would be new w/warrenty) that would probably be your safest bet

the audi can be modded like crazy though, and is a badass AWD machine.

*just noticed it was auto..... if your buying that car you MUST get the 6speed, cmon now its just wrong not too.

on a side note, when i get rich and have money up the *** ill by myself a new RS4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

MazdaSpeed6, hands down.. Take it for a drive yourself.. That's what I'll be getting when I trade in my 3.. Mazda makes a great product, and the MS6 is made in Japan, unlike the regular 6, which is made in Detroit..

you should get the MS3. if you like the 3 that is.

i'd get the MS3 b/c i think it looks sexy as hell but I don't fit lol. the MS6 is what i'm getting as my price is 20-23k depending on options. at that price there isn't really a contest. now to get the 3" down, caback to dual tip exhaust, cai and the like 2 other mods out there for power on this thing. stock hp/torque is IMO amazing. 274/280 at crank, 220/249 at wheels.

MS6 vote here as well, but I have owned 3 rx7's and currently own an '89 and a '03 Protege 5

if you mod the exhaust it will void your warranty, although you could just swap in the stock exhaust if you have an issue, but that would be a *****

i'm a member of a mazda6 forum already so i'm good. modding the exhaust doesn't effect warranty, it's actually a written law that a mod part unless it can be proven to cause the defect, doesn't void warranty. if you want i'll find the mazdatech read up on it.

modding the exhaust on ANY car doesn't void it's warranty unless you're in clear violation of smog/emissions regulations...

Yep had full exhaust on my protege5 and chip plus cold air intake not to mention a huge *** wall in my car, which it voided something, but was the speed not the warranty, lol! I told ya bump, just go MS6 and you would be able to do mild mods to it and be good to go. Now if you start going nutz, then who knows. They might say something then.

i think with just the exhaust i'd do, CAI, and engine mount to push out 265hp/285torque at the wheel's i'd be happy. that power should take on STi's nicely.
