:nod:
The cheapest way to drive a car with near-perfect handling is a Miata. And a Miata makes a decent DD with a hard top and a set of stock wheels with Blizaks. But a dedicated sports car and a sepereate DD is more fun.
I hate Miatas and would take a squirley handling overpowered muscle car any day of the week. Miatas were built to remind us of the MG's, Fiats, Triumphs, etc. of yester-year and they pulled it off. I hated my '74 Fiat Spider 2200 too! Now, on the other hand, a Monster Miata I can handle!
...and of course if I did buy a squirley handling older "muscle" car, which I did, and I had a bunch of HP sitting on the engine stand, which I do, and I had hand built every bit of suspension under the car, which I am... does that still not make me an enthusiast?

I used to hate Miatas in general, but now, I hate your Miata specifically.

Miatas are also less that half the price. They are also much cheaper to:
a) buy gas and tires for
b) repair
c) mod
And there is a big difference in taste in cars. Two opposing fields are:
Autocrossers who like ultra-precise steering and handling more than anything else
Drag race/smokey burnout power guys who would buy a car without steering if it had 1000hp.
Power is fun! I love getting behind a V-8 and mashing the pedal! But I really love to rip up the corners, so I will probably own several Miatas before I die, but never a vette. That's just me. I also like the small sports cars because they can be run really hard without problems. You are more likely to break something/wreck/screw up with a high-hp car, and when you do it will cost you a lot more money. Now, if I had money? I would get on a list for the C6 Z06, have Lingenfelter work it over, and buy all the track time I could. But I don't. And it isn't all money, I would take an Elise over a Viper any day, if they were both cost-free. But like I said, to each his own. I do enjoy watching someone pour time into a huge V-8 and make 500+ hp, even if I wouldn't do it. I'll make you a deal: you can come along for the ride of your life in my tiny Miata, or whatever I'm autocrossing at the time, if you let me come along for a tire-burning joyride in your torque monster, whatever you end up making your next big thing.

People here need to read more thouroughly
Miata = {penis}
SPEC miata (racecar) = {================penis===================}
Z06 = {==========penis===========}
Race cars kick the arse of any street car, hell the e46 m3 was boring compared to my rx-7 and the Improved touring porsches I have driven. Imagine 30 cars with roughly the same power and handling fighing for position on a 3 lane track at full tilt. Plus for the same entry fees as a track day you get more track time, and don't have to wait for slow cars to wave you by.
Plus if you happen to have an off track excursion you arent killing your dd or jeapordizing 30,0000.

Check that. Can anyone say stripped, supercharged, rollbar, Hoosiers? 
Now, for those with real money: Strip a Z06, TT that thing, and put on a track suspension (leafspring, anyone  ), and {=====================================big[censored]=================================}
