DSMs vs. other cars, your other car maybe.

[MustGoFaster]

I've considered other cars, but for the $ you spend, a DSM or 3S is tough to beat. (on the HP/$ scale)

I've considered:
E36 M3
Miata
Before I bought my Stealth I was looking at F-body's.

The M3 and Miata have been after starting AutoX. I've never driven a BMW, I have been for one ride in a 330Xi. I got more feedback sitting in the passenger seat than I do in the driver seat of my Stealth. Very much a drivers car.

But I've found it's not so much the car itself, as it is what you do with it. Be sure to enjoy what ever you have. I enjoy mine most on an Auto X course so far.
