    yet the Miata is cheaper so we drive Roadsters. I only seen 3 FD in my life in person.

    That's sad.


    I don't think there's a car I haven't seen in person (except for crappy nation specific ones like Ta-tas or whatever)

    In case you didn't get to miatapalooza, the guy brought his 800HP 4cyl drag miata. (I Believe it is the same guy)

    That car blew my mind, it was a 4cyl wasn't it!? I only got a glimpse at the cam wheels and VC and it definitely looked like a 4cyl miata engine.

    I think it is so much more impressive that it was done on a 4cyl, ultimate "get your v8 out of my face" car.

    I use to see the car all the time. I haven't seen it in so long, I was wondering if he still had it. He drove it to my house a few years ago, so I got to get a real good look at it. Nice car.
    95 in pieces, but good pieces.

    I guess people forgot the old Gp5 Capris (Zakspeed for example) were running 600hp 4-cyl turbo motors back in the late 70s.
