Not all about power. Hell, my next $1000+ endeavor on the wagon will be suspension/drivetrain related.

As for the Miata I still haven't had time to try to resolve the damned water pump issue. Not sure I want to throw money at it for going fast when there's no good way to make it fast and smog legal.

that's hilarious cause I recently started looking at FXT/LGT/OBXT to pick up as a beater to tow a small camper and small trailer for the 4wheelers/atvs I wanna pick up

Suspension is already where I want it on the Legacy, Epic Springs, Bilsteins, Hotchkis sways Kart Boy end links and AVO rear reinforcement brackets.

Don't want to afford it. I easily could, just do not want that kind of payment

It's easy to return the Subaru to smog legal status. But unless I went with the $5k smog legal supercharger for the Miata it'd be a pain to make any real power and go back and forth for smog tests.

Hopefully it's a manual because otherwise it'll over heat the 5EAT in about 5 minutes flat.
