http://www.v8miata.com/ I simply could not imagine having a 5L in a tiny little miata. The power would be insane! I have not posted in a while. How is everyone? I have been looking at a few SVT focus's to possibly replace the contour. I test drove a 03 svtF with the hid headlamps and it is a very fun car to drive. One thing i noticed right off the bat is that my 95 contour seems faster. I figured that a car that is 8 years newer with the same amount of HP (i know my car is a v6 and the svtF is a I4) but i was not overly excited about the power the the focus delivered. However, compared to my decade and a half old suspension the focus handled great! The SVTF has 25k and the stealership is looking for 15k. What do you guys think? I also read some reliablilty issues with focus.
Midnight Red 95 Contour SE 5 speed, fully loaded. kkm M.A.F. adapter w/ K&N ru-3530, single Magnaflow muffler w/ no res. 2.25" custom catback exhaust, grafite painted stock 95 SE rims on bfgoodrich touring T/A's, 35% window tint around.

First, the V8 swap into Miats has been going on almost since they came out. Panache looks to possibly be the same company that used to be called Monster Miata (same location, engines, etc...).
Second, $15k for a SVTF with 25k mi seems awfully high considering many dealerships were selling them new at that price. They had a very hard time selling the cars for the MSRP. $11-$12k would be a more reasonable price IMHO.

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I could do a search for any car and find ones that people uglified. Doesn't mean it's an ugly, pointless POS.
