I already did that w/ my 240Z. She has a custom built Chevy 350 V8 and about 420 hp. Sucks the paint off pretty much everything on roads I travel but is not a candidate for a daily driver.

Had a 79 Mustang ordered from factory for college grad present from Dad. No American does the trick as are too big (have 4 seats) except maybe Corvette. But would kill for a 69 Camaro. Salivating...

My Miata is supercharged w/ all the Jackson Racing fixins but does not scratch my itch any more & needs rubber everything. Just want something newer w/ none of the woes of a 10+ yo car but can't seem to find my mark. Question is therein.

Had worn them really about the same,

For the life of me I can’t decide. The Miata is a well known entity as my 96 takes a bow. The 370Z is an echo of my 240Z with all the shapely exaggerated lines from the past and big kick in horsepower that rocks my world. Z has visibility looking rear of a tank but comes w/ back up mirror camera. Miata RHT does it in a snap & is a hard top. The convertible is more of a drag than plus for me anyway. Picked Miata at the start because it felt so close to my RX-7 on first drive and I was at home on road or track. Amazing. I could really whip the Racing Beat 7 around in autoX like bat out of Hell. Sweet. Little Miata goes zoom, zoom. Respected by Ferrari owners worldwide in a class all its own. Datsun has race heritage to boot a long side Mazda. Both are my heroes.

Aesthetics are key. Looked at Porsche Boxter but parts cost more & still not the 911 or even Cayman. Corvettes cost too much & I can’t see over the dash. Lotus is too pricy but would otherwise be The One, except for sparse interior. BMW Z4 is beautiful but too much luxury. Sky, Crossfire are a flash in the pan. I just have no other choices! Have I missed anything?

Follow in Robert Frosts foot steps and take the road less traveled. That would be the 370Z.

can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? my guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like

Yes! Why now not otherwise I think fast to go, faster, dizzy slam you back into leather bolstered seat so hard you receive closed-head brain trauma is of I drool. Happy Miata smiles but no take. Z vision go to 60 in slap of my face. Mike likie curves + road + big a$$ hips. No English. Harder and faster I rebel yell.

I said to a girl once:

Roses are red
Pickles are green
I like your legs
And what's inbetween
