Seems to be a bit of an echo in here...
I mentioned the Flyin' Miata with a Vette engine last week, complete
with links like
http://flyinmiata.com/V8/
Ya otta git some of your facts straight, however. They will actually
put the LS3 500+ HP engine in there for you if you can afford it. It
winds up a couple hundred pounds more than the stock Miata, but
significantly LESS than the Vette. Does it handle? First one they did,
first outing was to a Corvette club autocross. It set FTD in the hands
of one driver and the other driver was a close second. The nearest
Vette was four seconds back. Keith Tanner DOES know what he is doing.
Comes with warranties, too...
