well since the rise of EV's the performance marker has been pushed so far ahead that even family SUV's are doing 0-60 in sub 5 seconds. Kinda make these old "super cars" completely irrelevant when you get dusted by a model 3.

Straight line acceleration is only one piece of performance.
Performance is only one piece of how we perceive a car.
I like EVs, but electric supercars seem like a waste of time to me.

Super Cars are a full package.
A 5L mustang with a Wu Tang War Whistle/Spoolius Caesar/Mongolian motor Mangler/Hiroshima Hairdryer will do insane 0-60, but I don't think anyone compares them to Super Cars.

Well, at least 1 person forgot those cars were only sold to be disposable.
The clutch/shifter on those 5 spd ones is so rubbery and awful, if you ever wanted to know how a truck would drive as a car where even truck owners let out a general sigh of malaise when operating it… this is definitely your jam. Or Alamo… one of the two.

The Sunfire of the gen looked so much better. Especially the one with quad round lamps for turn signals and fogs. It had that aftermarket look while being OEM.

What do y'all think of this? I suspect it may have been tracked, judging by the mods. The price is quite low for an NC2 PRHT. https://vancouver.craigslist.org/pml...543025241.html 2011 mazda miata mx-5
condition: good
drive: rwd
fuel: gas
odometer: 106100
paint color: red
size: compact
title status: clean
transmission: manual
type: convertible
Fun little 2011 red Miata MX5 with auto hard top roof! Very zippy little car and a smooth ride with new struts. Decided on a newer model Miata and selling this one.

Good question. Price was low - I’m sure lower than kbb. This might be a candidate for inspection. He just split for 6 weeks holidays - I doubt he regi’d before he left. I’ll find out

Decided on a newer model Miata and selling this one. | Depends if you want to go hardcore with the car. Some groups don't allow you out on track without a roll bar and there's only one available for the PRHT. You can forget about trying to fit in it with a helmet unless you are like 5'2.

But the engine and tranny are supposed to be very hardy, and being a facelifted car, they have the improved engine and tranny too.
If things check out, then why not?
