BOTH!

You have a hard choice.... so I vote for whichever is a more comfortable ride!

Good luck!

I wish I could take both. This is my first Dragon, and it seems like a "what are you sporting in/on your MINI" kind of event. Which I think my black car is a little "louder" than my silver one, but the silver one has the mods.

DS, due to the mods. Faster is better at the Dragon. My daughter and I are each taking our MCS's and I'm bringing a sport bike (R1) because you can never have too many toys at your disposal.

The black MCS is VERY nice also!

One more vote for the dark silver. Cause I've been torn on what kinda of stripes to put on my DS cabrio, so the more I can see in person, the better feel I'll get for my choices!!!!!

My wife and I both voted DS before I even scrolled down. Polls closed I'd say...... See you there.

It's definately looking like DS, John.
Which is fine, that car runs smooth as butter.

I thought there would be at least a couple votes for the JB, but it's not modded(yet) I guess that's why.
