    Listen to this, Emilio talks about the ND vs everything else: http://shoutengine.com/SlipAngle/emi...istening-13656
    It's pretty far into the pod cast.

    The answer to your question is, probably.
    This is Bert. It was commissioned for FM to build by a guy named Pete.

    Correct. And yes, I am selling. I changed it up a tad ....front bumper cover, wheels, rear brake kit, updated springs, and installed the LS7 intake and a custom tune...445whp. Its a fun car. Hooks amazingly well. I'd bet it'd be on hell of a AX car. Pick a gear based on desired exhaust note.

    I've been looking at StooK's, but haven't seen any low-mileage ones in the $10-12K range. Any examples you'd like to share?
    The S2000's aren't much roomier inside than an NA miata. But they are fun as hell to drive ! How bout a convertible Sebring?- Roomy fwd convertible

    ^I remember S2K's being bigger, but I haven't been in one in quite awhile. I'll have to double check, thanks John.

    Sebring?

    The S2k isn't "roomy", but accommodates a taller/wider driver much better than any Miata. They also have a fairly high belt-line, compared to NA/NB.

    +1... it's the main reason I sold my NB 18 months after I bought it and got the S2k. Haven't regretted it so far...

    Do you mean Miata vs. S2000 and Focus ST vs. Civic Si? I'd pick S2000 out of the first pair and Focus ST out of the second. Overall for a street car I'd pick the Focus ST.
