Z06 is no more.....
Z06 is no more.....
Okay so here it is.
I no longer have my Z06, long story short, it's not a car to be driven in anger.
Good news:
Insurance company paid out more than I bought the car for.
I'm okay, and no one else was hurt
Bad news:
My insurance is gonna be a bit high, to say the least.
I don't have a vette anymore.
So I'm gonna build a "cheap" car, so that insurance will be easier on the wallet.
What would you all build ?
1) a sick s13, widebody, sr20, s15 face, LSD, paint, etc,etc target 400 hp.
or
2) 90-97 miata, turbo, widebody, hardtop,paint, full suspension, sitting on 265's in the rear, on RA-1's full time, target 240hp at the wheels

A turbo miata would definately be fun.. but i'd think the s13 is better suited for any kind of collision also.. the miata can probably raise some safety concerns ..
Other then that, 240hp in a little miata might be a monster both in the straights and in the twisties.. but even then, you might outgrow the miata because of the basic fact that it's so small. 8-)

I say Miata...Silvias have been done too many times.
Since you have your Corolla you shouldn't have to worry about a daily driver or the fact that the miata is so small.

damn steve... good to know you're ok.. that's the main thing, bro.
moving on.. at 1st i thought s13.. cuz that's what i'd want.. but now i remember that time we saw that nice/sick miata pass by in front of vakamon... so.. its a toss up.
maybe we gotta mull this over while downing a few beers

Go for the Miata! Everything is easy and inexpensive about that car. And if you're worried about safety, read the first couple of pages of this: http://www.miataclubofhawaii.com/for...ead.php?t=1110
