then if its looks i say miata lol much cheaper and itll look better, the dsm is pretty ugly its just a dope platform so performance wise i see it but show wise miata might be nicer

that is what I was leaning towards at first....cause we all know in shows an important factor is wheels, and the miata has a excellent stance with aggressive wheels.

I dunno where everybody else is... but I'm at the Anime Expo in downtown. It's day 3 of 4.
I will be hitting Trader Vic's at 1:00 with my sorority sister Mary, then the pool at the hotel.
BTW the pool is rockstar, reminds me of a vegas setup

That's what I plan on doing at least
edit:
Just read this, nevermind that earlier idea :P
...I wanna head more towards show car shady.....yes I am a show car type of person, not a track guy really, or a "street racer"
dont care so much about power as to how good it looks...mostly because you never really get to experience the power on the streets...and I am not going to fund a habit like tracking

I was playing Ys and I noticed that there's a place called Tigray Quarry and it made me imagine a quarry full of TiGray RX-8's. (This is the seventh installment of the Ys series called The Oath in Felghana if you guys are wondering which one I'm playing and no, it is not available in America. /nerd)

Show car is going to have to be pretty extreme to make it work, honestly more expensive than tracking your car. Regardless, if you want to do it start with some expensive wheels and a wicked drop and go from there.
