One of these days I must have a car like that

Here ya go AJ! linky

lol, I saw that one Pete, and it's tempting. The only thing is that if I open the wallet more to that range there are some cars I could grab that I wouldn't have to touch, just drive, and they would rank above any Miata.

arggg, maybe I'll just blow more money on pron.

 

[AJ]

So the more I look around my thoughts are going to lean more to a BMW z3 or z4, Porsche Boxster, or G35 Coupe. This would be my choice for cares I have to do nothing to. Just enjoy a more sportylicious drive to and from work and cruising on the weekends on nice days.

I'm also going to start looking for some nicer rx7 bodies from the south I think as if a motor tends to go, and we know the triangles get angry, I can then have a 'better' motor go in.

I've also set myself on a 302 swap if I go the Miata route. Much cheaper way to get a boosted v8 in there.

So, you haven't really decided anything yet then? lol

You best be building that 302 if you're boosting it!

I think a Datsun Z car or RX7 would be better suited for a V8 than a Miata, but that's just me. The Miata is perfect as it is, I don't know why you'd want to ruin that because I really do not think a V8 Miata would be all that fun... Kind of like a loud, rough riding Evo. Cool at first, then not so much later on.

What about a 2JZ in something like a Z car or 240SX?

nope, i need to drive a few of the ones locally soon and then probably looking at picking one up in the south.

Yes, I'd have DB build me a 302.

Woot.

Something about a 302 and an easy way to stay around 300 whp in a Miata appeals to me. I really don't like the Z cars outside of the newer ones and I can't afford one of those.

 

[Z-licious]

For a project car I'd vote for a Miata (99-05) and add a turbo, not an engine swap. Inexpensive, super fast. Get a modest 250 WHP in that thing and it's a rocket!

For a car that you could just buy and drive I'd say '03 350z. Pick one up for $10k and it's a fun reliable car. It's cheaper than your Z3, boxster, and G35c and faster than all the above too. It's not just my bias speaking either. The Z has always been known to offer excellent performance to dollar ratio.
