1st gen probe/mx6 arent that bad, they are just heavy cars. but the motor is great, but that can be said about alot of cars that are heavy with great motors. A chassis can be built for whatever need be. But a good motor is a good motor from the start.

Come on man really? You know i am down with the 626 and the MX6.. the probe is shit. horrible ford interior + horrible ford exterior = fail.

I mean thats all opinion, but the mx6 and probe are the same car.. just look different. i personally like the mx6 better in the 1st gen, but the 2nd gen probe takes the cake between the 2. But the 1st gen probe has its place..

if im not mistaken the motor that came in the ford probe gt also came in the ford taurus SHO (the early 90s body style) but the one that was in the probe was detuned and there was a detuned version in the late 90's taurus's NON SHO! its a duratech V6 DOHC 24v which is neither mazda or ford! Yamaha made the duratech motors!

no the probe GT that we are referring to is the first gen, it had a 3.0 vulcan american ford motor.

The Duratec, and the yamaha motors are cousins.. but different... and the duratec 2.5-3.0 v6s came in the Contour/Cougar/taurus's after 95.

And the probe GT 2.5 v6 that you are talking about is all mazda also.

yeah Rob! i never got to see the car! it met its fate though......a tree fell on his garage and smashed it....almost all is still salvageable though and he will be putting the FE3 into his new yata he picked up!

as far as the V6 swap in a miata! the way i think about it, if people can successfully cram a LS1 all the way to a LS6 in the miata, i can fit that V6.......just gotta mate up a trans!

Its the same car..Probe has more gauges,better suspension,bigger wheels(2nd gen),shorter final drive!mazda has a better interior!!Ill buy a probe over a mx6.If probes are shit,then mx6 are shit also...If it wasnt for probes,mazda,build on the same chassis, wouldn't have any aftermarket support.
