Oh interior is completely wasted and nasty. Will be tyvek suits and respirators to gut it. Lots of mice have made it home. Then it will need pressure washed out.

One of the engineers at my first job had a Corvair turbo convertible. Not sure of the year. He also had a DeTomaso Pantera and a Ford model T that he sometimes drove to work on backroads. I always thought it was such a strange "collection" of cars. That's all he had as far as I know.

Didn't look at it too closely, yea I agree on that. I just noticed it was on your side of the border.

5th gen prelude all the way. Base model with a manual. Not as good of a chassis but with double wishbone suspenion all around and imo a more fun engine (vtec yo), as well as a sleek body, that car is a steal at 3-4k. I miss mine. I don't think it could replace the frs since the car is fwd. But damn are they fun. Spend the extra 4k on wheels, tires, suspension, exhuast and some maintenance items, and you got yourself a solid fun dd.

Also every car in the world is a momentum car. No car on this planet is faster if you slow down too much for corners. Really hate that phrase used to describe low horsepower cars.

And I haven't had any Miata's out corner my stock Camaro in advanced run groups so far. I've certainly caught up to plenty of other cars though with my own "slow" but good handling cars (like the BRZs).

Now take a Miata and put some old terrible tires on it.. I think I'd go for the "high HP" line myself. In many years of W2W racing I've always seen the fastest cars taking the same line.... sometimes those cars are Miatas.. sometimes they are Mustangs with V8s.. sometimes they are FWD cars.. I guess I could convince myself of a momentum car if there was a car and track out there where the car could be at top speed the entire lap only (by that I mean 1 speed the entire time) with a normal apex, never going late.. and certainly never early. End of the day though, do whatever makes your laptimes the lowest - just don't early apex ha
