This. Hands down... Other than that, I think an RX-8 would make a decent daily. I wouldn't drive it in the winter either though, buy a Honduh for the ice, then you won't feel bad if it rusts. :lol:

Why a show car specifically? I'm personally not a fan of building a "show car" cause you really make it inconvinient to drive. Why not build it on how YOU want it built? I know people loved my car because I would take it to shows (and win), but also track it (autocross & drag) and just drive it everyday, put the miles on, and drive it hard, not have to take it easy. I built her how I wanted her built and drove her how I wanted to drive her. I enjoyed every minute in that car. I see it so often, so many people building show cars, and they get bored and/or can't drive it because it's pratically undrivable on the streets. I always wanted to get a show car AND a racing trophy for that car, but I never got the racing one; best I did was a second place for D-Mod autocross class while I was in VA, and no awards for second place, heh.

I'm hoping the FR-S will live up to the hype when it's released. Should be closer to 25K, which will leave you $ for mods.

I'd take the subi BRZ version of the FR-S. I think with a Subaru front end, it'll look better. (I can't wait to drive one when we get them next year)

That's kinda what I mean. I don't want it undriveable, just amazing looking and an eye popper!
