friend in high school had one.....bitchin' car. It's amazing that these things keep close to a 50/50 balance with the 5.0 in them.

He eventually added a blower to it......car was INSANE! This is surprisingly a common swap.

I'd take a miata on a race track. Dont underestimate just because on the streets people might think you are gay dude.
