Should I buy a miata?

[Jon325i]

As a daily driver, probably not. As a track car / auto-xer, hellz yea. Cheaper to buy and mod than an E30. I used to have the "oh Miatas are the ghay" mindset until I watched a few at Thunderhill in a spec race. Not such a ghay car after all.

Now, if you want pink shirt with popped collar wearin', droptop homo good times, get yourself this....

Saying the car looks gay is one thing, and I partially agree.

But if you are buying it for performance, e30 owners have nothing to talk about. A spec Miata would run circles around 90% of the cars on this forum. And the drivers of those spec Miatas have 10X the balls that most of the people on this forum have.

Most Spec Miatas finish their race into a tire wall...

If I could find a cheap Miata I'd probably buy it. One of the funnest cars I've ever driven.

Go for it. As much as it will offend the nut-swinging waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless on this board, they're a substantially better car than an E30, and have a great suspension set-up and chassis. Tons of fun, and they can take as much abuse as you can give. I've had 5 of them. I'll have another I'm sure.

You've had 5 nut-swinging waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless? And you're sure you'll have another? That's commitment!

youve said some really stupid shit in the past but this is right up there. so the title to a miata comes with a giant nutsack? you automatically have huge nuts if you own a miata?? gimme a fucking break. there are a host of excellent spec e30 drivers on this board .. to say drivers of a certain brand car are better or have more guts is like saying miasma likes vagina more than cock. its just not true

Lots of blatant homophobia in here.

Flyin' Miata has an ungodly huge amount of parts for the Miata. And sell an LSx kit.

They'll even build a complete car with LSx, big brakes, suspension, chassis reinforcement, etc etc etc.

[BigD]

Wow that's a great price, do it! They're awesome cars. The upgrade road is endless, and I really mean it. There are ready to go turbo kits, and most people don't realize how roomy the engine bay is. The LSx engines fit easily and there are complete kits for the swap. I'd buy one if a clean car dropped into my lap, and do an LS3 swap.

[Scotaku]

I know a hundred and one Miata guys and not a one of them is homosexual. I'd pit just about any SpecMiata driver against the average r3v'er in any contest of manliness. Chop down trees, eat your lunch, etc...

[e34john]

Not for 900 bucks but if you can talk him down go for it, will be a fun track car Maybe get something like a Unimog to tow it to the track so you can feel less gay.

[reelizmpro]

I dunno, that doesn't look so gay to me.

Now the diving board verts are another story.

[aintnothang]

Miatas are cool with v8's too.

[87e30]

e30 verts are 10x more gay than miata's.

I want an older miata... but they aren't practical at all like an e30 sorta is.
