If were forced to sell your Miata, what would you buy?

uhhh the 2.5L in the e30 takes well to boost as in you get a crap ton of power out of not much boost but yeah get ready to blow your motor. Those e30 m3's are like 10.5-11:1 compression stock. Also boosting any BMW is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ like none other. If you want mad power go e36 with a twin-screw cept plan to spend like 10k on the car and 7k on the set-up. If i could get another I'd nab a Evo or a 2nd Gen Rx-7 or a e36 m3 with some suspension work.

I sold my '92 Turbo'd Miata over the summer. Bought a '89 Turbo Targa Supra. I thought that I wanted something different and faster. Something that I could get 500hp from. Wrong move, the Supra was too big and didn't handle like the Miata, I missed my baby.
Well that is all fixed now. The Supra is up for sale and I just bought a '99 10AE and trailered it home from Boston tonight. I drove it down my street and I can't wait to have it registered

I definately agree with loki, new z06. Have you guys got to ride in one yet. I thought that my camaro was real fast, then I went for a ride in the z06. They are about the same acceleration wise, but the damn z06 just would flat out stomp my camaro if there were any bends in the road. How about a miata with an ls1, with a nice cam. Really surprise people, in fact, I would **** my pants if one rolled up.

A lightly boosted E36 M3 would be a great car. Maybe around 375 whp. You wouldn't want to lose the great balance that car has. Flipside is doing one with a twin turbo S54. Sounds cool on paper but I think it will ruin the car.

$20k to do it cheap.
$30k to do it insane.

The day I retire from the Navy I'll start my build. I'm dead serious. This is my dream. 13.5yrs to go.
