To be honest the most fun I ever had in a car was in a 290hp NSX hard top and a miata( hate to addmit it) at a track event, from what I hear this car will be like those or even better at a fraction of the cost.


Im on the same boat, i can appreciate a car with brute power and that is well built but i rather have something light and nimble. I know i said i wanted an s2k the other day on the 86/brz vs s2k thread but i've changed my mind and im saving up for an Ae86 since it perfectly follows this philosophy of being light and nimble
