Considering AP1s beat to hell and back are still $7000-$8000. I dont even know where to find a "shell" from haha Unless you know a guy at Ed Voyles :P

Id think the cost of the car, LSX motorset, mounts, ecu, radiator, you HAVE to beef the rear end up because the stock S2000 will shatter like glass. Im sure YOU yourself can do it cheaper, but if you were doing it for a customer i cannot see it costing less than $20,000 for someone to do it all and do it all right. At the end you would have a $20,000 super car that almost nothing could touch

Haven't been up against any LSx Miata's on the track yet. I am sure they would be fairly comparable. I prefer the s2000. That's just me.
Absolutely, S2000>miata But i know the LSX swap has been done in the miatas for years. I was wondering how they match up car vs car and cost vs cost. Exterior styling id choose the S2000 any day of the week

And Hi Vteckidd. It's been a while... you know who this is, yes?
no idea?
