+1 for the Miata again. They are amazing in autocross in almost every class they compete in and I'd have a turbo over VTEC anyways. I also have seen firsthand at autocrosses where a S2k will be in a sweeping turn metering the throttle, hit VTEC and spin because of the abrupt power gains. Also, I don't know if it is still a problem, but at least the older S2ks seemed to have drivetrains made out of toothpicks.
