I'm not interested in a new RX-x or Supra or S2000. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE all of those cars but I could never afford one. Accounting for inflation, a new Supra or Rx-7 would cost over $50,000.

Slightly heavier than a go-kart

^ Forever, save yourself the greif and find yourself another car,

if your philosophy is no turbo no sale...forget about it..Your a power monger and this car isn't about power.

Its about road feel, emotion, returning the driver connection back into the road.

Not speed, not lap times, not quarter miles times, not HP, not TQ.

Now if your still considering this car, get the lowest spec possible, and swap a EJ257. Since your probably looking into this route anyway.

^^^ I was thinking that but the prob is that I live in a area where they do obo2 emission testing. And yes I do like a car with some balls. And this car has the look I like and rwd and light. But I also enjoy carving back roads too. That is what a boost controller is for.

Regarding the FT-86, I'm expecting full spec disclosure for both brands, but no pricing for the USA 'til the NAIAS in January.

I would also like Mazda to give a shocker and release the ND Miata.
