Any input on an LS1 powered Miata? It would be primarily for a fun project car to drive on the weekend with the occasional autocross or track day.
I'm getting bored again and weighing this versus another 4th gen (LS1 powered) or a turbo miata. |

Might as well do a 318TI or some other welterweight 3-series.
I think my biggest issue with an ls1 miata is you can't fit any decent amount of tire underneath one. Stock tires are 22.5" tall, you can fit 23.5 in the back but any taller and you really start raising the car up to fit it. While we're in pie in the sky mode... what about a LS1 911? |
