Looks like M52 with an M50 intake and Eaton supercharger. Probably good for over 300 HP

The convertible is a Solstice, not a Miata.

You don't want a Solstice.

But wanting a Miata is good; sadly they are $$$ not matter the year.

Love mine; had it since 1994.

Rock solid reliability.

I know they are different, but have the same style, humps over wheels.
This one has an auto, I don't want.
Also have this available too, I should try it on for size, see if I fit ?
Been offered a few weeks now, getting stale?
Price seems cheap ?

Indeed it does.

I'm a wee bit over 6 feet and about the Miata limit IMHO.

Same sort of seal with My Vet
I am at 6-1” and the seat adjuster has about 1” left.

I guess real tall people get screwed with the real bad ass sports cars. At least some of them.

Just guessing because I

Size 15 feet make driving some cars impossible... every time you push in the clutch you slam on the brakes.

Driving a car fast is much more challenging than riding a motorcycle fast…..(for me)

Depends on condition/ sub model/ miles. Whole @ 100K for a sport model is about 7-8K.

Bias declared: a pontiac Solstice GXP or Saturn Sky Redline with a few mods are pretty darn decent twisty burners...with enough power to make it fun. Either way, I'm shopping for a good deal on a 06-08 Corvette coupe 6sp if I'm in the mid teens on dollars to spend.

In a case of never meet your heroes…this the situation for a Countach. Not even enough room get my foot around the clutch to rest. And I’ve only got size 13 (sometimes 14) shoes.

Yeah, I used to have to have someone else road test certain (manual trans) cars for me due to squatch feet... a couple that come to mind- early vette's, honda S2000's. I can't imagine being able to drive an exotic car.
