The only reason a Miata can "hold it's own" is because of how light it is. If it weighed anymore, the suspension setup would be horribly noticeable.

It took 4 chassis bars and some nice coilovers to get the car where I wanted it.
This was my main reasoning for picking up a late model Nismo. I found I needed mods (rubber, suspension, and boost) to enjoy my MX5. Stock just wasn't going to do. Rather than get a second MX5 that would need all the same stuff again, I just opted for a ready-to-go sports car that already has all of that situated. Modding is cool, but has a lot of inherent inconveniences associated with it. I'm not escaping it, but limiting it only to one car.

Good luck with that. I bought my Nismo over another Mustang because I thought the same way... now there's about $5k worth of sh*t I still think I need.

If you are into something, it never can stop unless you change the basic equation. Folks into making doing will always look at what they can do regardless of the car they purchase. If it gets out of control. You can stop checking out possibilities, get off forums and try your best or you can buy a car that will not inspire you to look for mods.

Mods, like alcohol, can become a disease for a few. Some are addicted but in denial.
