All you turn in your man cards right now!
Miata is not the RV of the car world.
These are air/oil cooled with horizontal cylinders that slide off just like your Lyc. most of all it has a wing and it'll fly!
In my opinion the only car that matches an RV would be the Ultima GTR. I sometimes refer to my RV7 build as the "airborne Ultima"
(7,0l V8 685hp weight around 2,000lbs, 0-60 in 2,6s) - the car that is...
And yes, I built them )
Interestingly enough, the MINI was on my shopping list when I got my Miata. It's a fun car, manuverable, powerful in the "S" version (fairly gutless in the regular version), compact and useful. Downsides (for me, anyway) are FWD and its associated problems, price and complexity/reliability.Well, as much as I like MX-5s/Miatas I'm not so sure they equate to the sbs airplanes quite as well as one of these.
