Re: DSMs vs. other cars, your other car maybe.
Keep the DSM. I am going to be in this very same predicament pretty soon. I have my Mustang which is my DD right now, but soon I will be done with my master's and should be able to find a respectable job. With a new job comes a new DD. Also the dsm should be out on the streets this spring at the latest so I can start to focus on my mustang. Honestly the best I can say is look for something as opposite as your DSM as possible and something that also has a lot of support. FD with an ls1 are getting cheap or find a shell and swap it over yourself. '96-'98 Mustangs are getting dirt cheap and with a decently built engine make some serious power when boosted. This is the route I plan to go. Some think they are ugly, but I like mine. They are pretty light and have more support than most cars. The chassis has been the same all the way through the fox bodies so pretty much all the chassis components that were a problem have fixes. And the main reason I am keeping mine is so I can have a Blowzilla. In the end do what you want, I'd just keep the DSM anyway. Yours is way too nice of a car to get rid of.
