single or twin for a daily driver?

i know there prolly is another thread like this somewhere, but i just want a straight answer without having to go through 100s of pages to find one post about what i need.
So, is it better to have a twin or sinlge turbo if i am doing nothing but driving the car around daily and building it to be a show car ie HIN.

So you don't want to take the time to search for the pro's and con's of each setup, and now you want someone to make up your mind about which setup to go with?

Leave it stock, man.

stock turbos are inefficient and cause a lot of heat and have a lot of unnecessary wiring and valves.. Single turbo is always a positive and can be very street able with the right turbo setup.. the only problem is that single turbos are more expensive :P.

How can a daily driver be a show car? This is the wrong section for show cars.

Dude. You obviously won't do any of your own research for building a show car. Plus, you can't daily drive a show car. It looks like **** in a month.

You'll end up doing nothing but the inexpensive and low quality visual appearance mods, and make the car look like a POS.

Just sell the rx7 and go get a honda.

It seems these cars are getting cheap enough where anyone can get one.

OP, I suggest you spend some time searching and learning, all of this has been covered numerous times before.
