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.

The swapped BRZ is another cool ride. I'm local to weapons grade performance which did the first one, the BRZ06. Wild little car. Someone was telling me they were still able to use the factory computer to integrate pretty well and they were even able to get it through the plug in emissions test. Not sure if its entirely true, but I couldn't imagine paying for a new car and the swap then never being able to take it on the streets.

The M3 really is the most practical swap though. It just works so well in that car. From mounting space, wiring integration, and the fact that it doesn't even disturb the balance of that great chassis. Really is a win win. Not to mention it's still a spacious and practical car compared to the smaller cars mentioned.
