The MS Protege can pretty easily be made a lot faster. The problem they have is lousy engine management. Word is the Miata has a totally reworked ECU that is built for a turbo application. The Protege was a lot like building an RS-T and basically calling a voltage clamp, RRFPR, and retarded timing "engine management."

The turbo protege has less ignition advance than the NA version.

I like the E36, but IMO, the Infinity just looks so much better. Plus the G35C would have near to no miles since it's brand new, full warranty (infinity should be at least a little better than subaru) and updated tech.

G35C > E36 for me
