Bad thoughts. I has them.

[lethe]

I personally have see over 350hp being pushed out of one of those little girl cars.  If your ego can get past the "chick car" thing that little Miata is a pure joy to drive even dead stock it is fun.  Tweaked to the hilt and it is a formidable lightweight rear wheel drive and a handful of happiness.  There is a reason they race the piss out of them.

If he spent as much money as the Mini cost that Miata will pull the teeth out of horses and the mini won't see anything but the taillights for a second.




And yes, I almost bought one also......

This one will "only" be starting off at around 250hp or so as the 302 I have laying around is fairly mild.
That said I see why these are so much fun even stock, it weighs NOTHING. I went to push it and it moved even when I just leaned against it.
