Alot of great suggestions. With the miata and 2000 I was basically looking at trying to get a very light car then adding what I could with the rest of the money,get some breathing upgrades and then do a swap once I saved up a bit. The Evo I was looking for a small AWD car that has alot of "Get Up and Go" in it. The mustang idea was also something I considered, and the Eclipse and Talon really caught my attention too...........Im just not too sure yet, really something that in the long run will be pushing low 12, high 11's..........Thanks for the sug. anymore???
