I'm getting the mac equivalent of a red x for bren's pic.

Get a PC

My pic is of the white/blue race car from the Speed show. Basically this:

How about this one?

What will happen to your RX8?

I'm sure that I could find someone who was willing to pay a premium for the custom Koni shocks.

Come on people, show some love! :traurig2:

In all fairness, this color (titanium silver) won't be out until MY2006.

If you got Sonic Blue, you and blee could share touch up paint.

Also, I think it would blend well with the background of your "Team WTF?!" magnet.

So, in summary, I think you should get Sonic Blue.

But, if you get a giant set of stripes, where is the question mark going to go?

Or an RX8 with custom shocks already installed and a set of extra wheels for Rcomps.

Better hurry before all the SCCA B stock folks buy their cars

it's no longer waffling if it appeals to you and you're actually going to follow through and buy the car.

hard to argue, either, especially since it could be made to handle as well as the rx8 but you have all of that torque for throttle steering the car.

Not sure about the first part of that statement. The Mustang is a fairly well-sorted car, but at the end of the day it's a car that weighs something like a 1/4 ton more than the RX-8. The suspension geometry of the Mustang is also very good, and much better than the old one, but I'd wager quite a lot of money that the RX-8 has better geometry. Frankly, despite the low torque numbers, the RX-8 is one of the easiest cars to throttle steer that I have ever driven; it will kick the tail out with a heavy boot, but it will also steer on drop-throttle, something I don't think the Mustang will do.

I do dig the Mustang, and I think for the price it is a compelling value. It may (probably will) completely dominate the autocross class that it is assigned to, assuming it is assigned to F Stock (and doesn't end up being moved to A Stock, where one could argue it should be). But it isn't an autocrosser at heart.

That doesn't mean I don't think Clyde should get a Mustang. In fact, I think he should, so that I can drive it.
