Thinking about a cheap Mazda Miata track car

most people write off miatas without having ridden in them. The aftermarket is HUGE, the parts are easily available and swappable between years, and they're a riot. Do you fit in one? The biggest challenge for me was finding a roll bar that would still clear the top and my helmet. We miss our miata a ton.

They have the 'best bang for the buck' thing going for them, for sure. Even more so when it comes to pushing one around a road track! I've been in a couple Miata's before, it's tight... borderline too tight. I haven't spend more than 30 min in one though, so sitting in one for an extended period might not work.

I drove mine to Chicago and back a number of years ago. It wasn't too bad, really.

i think the NA (1st gens) have a lot more room in them than the NBs. I'd bet the NCs and NDs would have even more room, but they're not what you'd call a "cheap" option yet. We will own an ND (if we ever decide to stop traveling around).
