I have connections for parts, labor, tuning (yes even rotaries)

This is why I want to start a shop. And to look more professional.

Coming from someone who graduated from OSU in Stillwater, I don't think an NSX is a good choice for that town. There are too many entrances, sidestreets, drivethru's that have too high of an angle to pull into/out of that you wouuld thrash the front end on an NSX. Even at stock ride height. I drove a seriously lowered car at the time and had so many problems I hated it. Even going through campus was a pain in the ***.

I completely agree that the NSX is a gorgeous car, but I don't think it is the right car to be putting around Stillwater in. For the reasons mentioned above and a few others. What about picking up an S or E class AMG? Or an M3/M6?

Yea, the FD had a lot of clearance issues.

I've never been much of a Mercedes fan (except for the black series )

M6 is still too expensive, I could get a E46 M3 but I've never had much of an attraction to it.

What ever I get is going to end up being modified.

I just had another idea, what about a fully carbon fiber FD? Maybe with a bridge ported 20B?

I just need a really cheap FD chassis... (most of the panels are being replaced with Seibon wet carbon panels)

(funny part is i have the money to do it)
