A really nice P5

I'm sure I'll get the old "welcome to last week" reply, but this just might be the nicest P5 I've ever seen...

You're right about that...As far as seating capacity goes, he might as well drive a Miata. What's the good in having a car like that if you can't recline the seat for a little "action"?

Beautiful paint-job though.

It's a DGM show car. The cage is in there because DGM makes it and they stuffed everything they make for a P5 on there.

Installshield is on a distinguished road

I like everything but the Moniter and the damn CF body pieces, if they were painted body color it would look much better IMO...

It is more than DGmotorsports, but they were probably the biggest sponser on the car. I actaully saw this car in person at the New Orleans Auto Show this past weekend. It is a very beautiful car (minus a few things), but far from daily driver street car. Color looks really good, also not a fan of all the cf, but understand the reason behind not having it painted.

The funniest part, was some mazda rep was talking to me about it, and I asked him if they had any dyno numbers on it and he told me no but we are expecting somewhere around 360hp, I almost laughed right in his face. I hate salesman who don't know anything, oh well, the car is still beautiful.

The turbo setup looks very good; very clean, simple installation. I don't mind the wheels either. The two-tone hood, chin spoiler and everything else I could do without...

That blue p5 is the best modified P5 I have seen so far.

It used to belong to Mazda, remember the dark blue P5 with the first turbo. Now it belongs to "Cagiva1" on the P5 forum. They are rebuilding the whole engine and tranny to up the boost.
