you say the ka motor gives that car its performance per dollar value but then bring up suspension so im confused. but ill bite. the miata has double wishbone suspension so if handling is your thing, its still not the best performance per dollar.
I think you're not seeing the point. Dollar for dollar you can get more performance from the KA vs. swapping in an SR. Again were talking about the S-chassis not miatas ans mustangs. It all started with "why a silva instead of an frs" to which I mentioned torque. You took that as an offense because of the KA "truck engine". All I'm saying is that Nissans generally have more torque than Toyotas and that KA can be more potent than SR's. I can name many engines that are better and cars that can handle better or are faster but, again, that's not the point of this thread.
