It is what it is, man. I'll be driving something there in B group Sunday. If it's Sonic, great. If not, that means Sonic is sold and that's OK too. I *love* driving this car on track but selling it makes the most sense overall right now.

Bump
Drove this car the other day to take a customer for a Xida demo ride. He ordered Xidas the next day.
Buy it.

At that moment, after blasting down a road and trying to find bumps to upset the car, and hitting boost.... I didn't really want to sell it 
I really don't want to sell it, but reality is I'm not using it right now and the funds could be better used elsewhere. Love this car though.

The test ride in sonic was awesome; I was surprised by how immediate the boost came on. If I didnt have 2 miatas and a baby on the way, I would have bought sonic.

Would anyone be interested in this car with a stock VVT engine, 4.1 Torsen and a 5-speed for like... $4k less?

Other options:
-bring your own suspension, wheels/tires, and diff, and take the car for $8k.
-Bring your own suspension, wheels/tires, and I swap to a 4.1 diff, take the car for $8550.
-Another combination of things?

If you kept it together, what’s your timeframe? I’ve been itching for another miata since I sold mine, but it would be a few months. If someone picks it up I won’t be mad but I’m definitely interested for after I move, if it’s available somehow.

Send me a PM. Not in a huge rush but I would like to have a plan. Would much prefer to keep it together, both because it'd be hard to bring myself to pull it apart, and because it's such an enjoyable package as it sits.

I've had some folks request interior pics. Tried to capture some detail here.
The steering wheel is a little tiny thing, and I love it, even if it partially obscures the gauges.
Old door card damage from previous seats. Current seats still rub the door card but aren't doing further damage.
Front lip has seen better days. #trackdaybro
Chips on fenders.
soft top has this one little spot in the material that looks funny but there is NOT a hole there.

Sale pending, but still available at the moment. Updated ad to reflect that the tires have been swapped out for some 245/40-15 RS4s with a LOT more life left.
