Oh man that's sexy as all hell. I'd kill to know what driving a car with 737 lb-ft of torque feels like.

That would be nice and cheap. I had the same model as in your sig but with a 4 point roll bar and the white racing stripes. Even with that and some wheels it takes some getting past the perception of what is a Miata. That why i never called it anything but a MX-5

I'm going with black stripes on mine and when I do the roll bar I'm adding door bars, too. I've already stripped out 90% of the interior, and I'm making a mold of the dashboard so I can make one out of carbon fiber just to hold the instruments.

Kick ***. Send me some pics via pm or a link when you have them. Or what you have done now. I would love to see it. I still wish i had one, but i dont regret trading it in for a new Lancer.

Lancer? That's cheating! But, that's what they said to me when I told the club I race with that I was sidelining the A4 for the Miata. Right now, there's nothing much to look at since I haven't worked on it this winter. But, when I have the time and nice weather coming up me and the lady are going to town on it!

This ncar tries too hard IMO. I'd rather have a regular R8....

Sure the 911 won ina 1/2mi race, but it got killed on their track. The V8 may not make supercar power, but it makes more than enough for a light well balanced car. Hell, look at the Lotus cars, they have upgraded 1.8L Toyota engines and run 13's in the 1/4mi and are arguably the best handling cars on the planet

The 1.8 I4 found in the Elise that's shared w/ the Celica is technically a Yamaha engine.

And this car will fetch every bit of 200K. And for that price, sorry, but the GT2 kills it....
