so what do yall think? i know what im leaning towards, miata vs camaro

[redrumracer]

so heres the deal, my Miata(99) broke(spun a bearing), so im in the process of building it. I planed on fully building it and putting a nice lil gt35r on it. but now im at a cross roads, i could continue to build it or just rebuild it stockish. if i went to rebuild it stockish then id get me a 3rd gen camaro. now on to the camaro, i wanna do 1 of 2 things with it, either get another gt35r and tt it or a big single turbo, so IA what ya think i should do, im leaning towards the camaro cause i really love those cars.

LSX style truck motor with single:goodjob:

i had thought bout putting a 5.3L vortec in my camaro at one time.

[redrumracer]

i heard 5.3 was good for holding boost

[IMPORTchic]

Assuming the turbo for the single is massive compared to the two you would you to tt it, I say single a mullet mobile!
:goodjob:

[ranger250x]

5.3 vortech in the miata... has that been considered??

If so just do a single on the camaro.

[03RCode]

Huge single turbo LSx turd gen.

[nreggie454]

I say twin turbo Camaro for the quick spool, unless you wanna just drag race it. If so, single.

i like the miata, im just tired of it, plus i dont really need to go that fast in a miata.

Huge single turbo LSx turd gen.
if i did a motor swap it would have a LSx and im liking the single idea, but at the same time i like tt.

[redrumracer]

im surprised 2 went for the miata

[tandem]

Go with the Camaro
Its 3rd gen though lol, but better than a miata

i love the 3rd gens, plus they have the lowest coefficient of drag outta all year models soooo goes through the air better.

Camaro, but I'm obviously biased. LS swap is the way to go. 5.3s can be had from less than $500 from intake to oil pan with a harness. Expect nickle and diming though. I'm currently in the process of putting a LQ9 6.0 in the Camaro in my sig. I'd just do the swap first, and work with the turbo(s) later. Keep the stock exhaust manifolds. Alot of guys are cleaning them up and welding v-band flanges on them for their turbo setups. Thats why I'm keeping mine. :ninja:

what sort of power are you shooting for and when do you want that power to start?

1k+ and not sure where the boost would be fully built but id like for it to be around 3k

[T.C.]

V8 miata. Otherwise go for the single turbo camaro

im starting to get tired of the size of the miata and its impracticalities

The earlier style transmissions bolt up, you'll need a fly wheel and pilot spacer though. Like $150-200 from GMPartsDirect.com or Scoggin-Dickey.

Its still funny to see the face of the guy next to you when you pass him in a miata with the sound of a v8
