5.0 Swap into 90s Miata

if you looking for light weight and big HP, I'd go Factory Five Cobra. However, that budget would be as inflated as the Health Care bill.

Also a great choice but with a few downsides.

1) The price is much higher which you mentioned

2) The Miata will be much more practical - I load up the wife, the dogs, and a weekend's worth of gear and head 2 hours north to our cottage in the summer in the Miata. Not going to happen in a Cobra replica.

3) The cops don't notice the Miata. They WILL notice a shiny Cobra replica with racing stripes, side exhaust, and knock off wheels!

All depends on what your priorities are.
