The existing cars are really pretty well matched, with course
dependencies probably being the deciding factor. The DSM is a very good
car most of the time, but no longer the overdog it has been - which is
not necessarily a bad thing (being an ex-borg stock, ex clone-stock
driver). Not being able to find your car on the grid because you
parked next to 6 other black/red <insert miata, neon, mr2> is an
amusing problem :)
The Acura/Honda contingency money (or neon/mazda/toyota) will always
sway the vehicle choice for the hottest drivers. Love that Pro solo(or
any other time) launch of the DSM though, and yes, my oem clutch lasted
all season - 90+ runs.
May the best driven ride win :)
