i know of a person, all stock internals in the miata. Throw on a turbo, pump the boost. 347 wheel HP. normal low 11sec car, highest time was a high 10sec 1/4...on street tires. Not too expensive to toss on a turbo. Will own you on the corners, assuming you can keep traction, and will kick the ass of most cars on the track. Even if you stuck the money into a camaro or whatever that you put into the turbo miata mod, it most likely wont stand a chance of beating you in the twisties, and probably not on the quarter either.

Chick car...maybe. Are there better cars out there?...probably. Better cars in the price range...again maybe. Its all a matter of taste. *I* certainly wouldn't work to hard to talk somebody out of one however
