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..

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.
