I know where everyone is coming from. But i will stick with my d', 1. because nobody has em. 2. they are very good looking cars. 3. the performance is there, there just needs to be some well though out planning, and work. I want to have a one of a kind car, so for now i will stay with the d'. But like i said, i know where you guys are coming from, me and my fiance just bought a subaru svx, and oh my gosh that thing has some balls, i would die for that h6 in the d'. but oh well, it may not ever be a race car, but with some work im sure it could win some shows. BTW Harry, i was planning on buying some headlights and suspension from ya...and possibly the intake........well anyway, good luck with whatever you do, and thanx for all the help you have given to all of us. -matt
