Something to consider about the early ND Miatas: Yes, they made less power however the ND2 engine that came in 2019 really only makes it's extra power in the tippy top of the rev limit. The difference in power you'll feel in your seat isn't as great as the numbers suggest. Also don't sleep on the NC3, the last revision of the previous gen. It's a legit fun car to drive and again the difference in power isn't substantial (There was a recent youtube video of a drag race between the NC3 and the current ND3 Miata, and the difference was just a car length). Lol also not for nothin but I get A LOT of compliments on my 2020 RF.

I've owned my 996 factory aero kit, hardback paint matched seats, early single row ims barring, for over a decade now. After a few times of "stupid tax" for the Ramsey followers, (ie financing it)like me now, it's been mine free and clear a number of years. It was my daily driver in the spring through fall a number of years. Now at 113k she's a fun weekend 4th car, I tend to drive on dry Thursdays as I'm remote Fridays and car events. Without a doubt the best true driving experience one can have for the cost of entry. I also had a Fiata so basically an ND. My early build doesn't have TC (PSM in Porsche world), no stability control, and the gas peddle is connected to the TB by cable, not an electric signal. I never drive it and say hmm i wish i was in xyz. I always look back and appreciate the curves and taco wing. I'm really blessed to have made a dumb at the time (financing a car almost my income at the time 20-21 at the time car) now to enjoy without any financial risk, aside from an engine rebuild but that's already a bit budgeted. I'm not sure i can think of another car that's better. C5 zo6 is a great choice as well, but i don't think it's better than a c2. However 'm thinking of one to add to the stable as the cheaper to fix fun car. I'm so happy now, i didn't sell my 996 when i posted 3x over. Even my daughter likes it, so i don't care if it's a six figure car in the future, it's now a family heirloom that she'll inherit, barring any government intervention in old cars in the future.

Especially the 997.2 from 2009 - 20012. Compared to the 997.1: . Increased BHP . Eiminated the IMS bearing. . Introduced Direct Fuel Injection (DFI) for better throttle response, lower emissions, and better gas milage. . Although I prefer the 6-speed manual transmission, they replaced the Tiptronic automatic transmission with the much more responsive PDK. . Changed cylinder liners to prevent bore scoring in the "S" models.

The 350Z is to the 300ZX what the RX-8 is to the FD RX-7. They’re both the 2000’s follow-up of the absolute legend from the 90’s, and they’ll simply never be able to tackle that immovable 90’s nostalgia. It’s happened to all of them; the R35 vs R34, Mk5 Supra vs Mk4, New NSX vs the original… The love and pop culture surrounding those cars peaked with the 90’s generations, and nothing will ever top them.

All of them are prone to end of shelf-life at around 200.000km +/- X.000 km. Though based on what I've seen on youtube and read on forums, cars that only been driven in warm climate seem to not have this problem. It seems to primarily impact those cars driven in cold climates (or where there is seasonal climate). So I wouldn't say it is a 100% correlation.

I bought an ‘11 XKR 5.0L in 2019 for $22k and still consider it the best bang-for-buck I’ve ever gotten in a car. I flew down to Texas to buy it, then drove it on a 2,000 mile road trip back to Idaho. An amazing experience I recommend anyone to try someday when they’re able. I specifically wanted a modern-ish 400+ hp V8, RWD Coupe with heated seats (bonus points if they were cooled too) and a hatchback/liftback for $30k or less. By that weirdly-specific criteria, I could only really choose from either the XKR and the C6 Corvette. (The Aston V8 Vantage was a bit outside my price range at the time, as was the C6 Z06) I locally test drove a couple C6’s and an earlier XKR with the supercharged 4.2L. The C6 was nimble and fun with its manual, but it creaked and squeaked a lot, whereas the XKR felt much more solid and substantial while feeling equally as fast. (The hatch area was also significantly larger) In the end I decided the way-less-common XKR was the car for me and that’s when I discovered that I could afford the significantly more powerful 5.0L version and it was a done deal. (Plus it had cooled seats!) I ended up modifying and absolutely loving that car, pulley/intake/exhaust/tuned with around 650hp at the crank and it remained reliable as a daily driver with real road presence everywhere it went. I eventually replaced it with an F-Type R but actually found I preferred the XKR in the end….then I realized how much I missed having a manual and a removable roof so I sold that and got myself an ND2 RF Club Miata with the Brembo/BBS/Recaro package and am loving every second of it.

Worth it to jump up to a 370z. Or at least go for a 2007-2008 350. VQ35DE is a rejigged Maxima engine, VQ35HR was truly intended for the FM chassis & had revisions to 80% of engine parts. 370z shortened wheelbase by 4”, widened track width, + 30-70HP over 350z, and a lot of fundamental flaws fixed from the debut FM-chassis cars. The prices aren’t 350z level, but far from expensive these days, and with 09-19(?) for production you won’t have trouble finding one.

They came from a time where Mercedes was building cars to last. All the little features like the a/c vent in the center console to keep things cool and the a/c charcoal filter are actually usable. I personally love mine and picked it up for $10,500 2 months ago with 50k miles. An absolute undervalue. In today’s money it’d be over $65k.
