What's so special about this car?
What's so special about this car?
Excellent chassis, unique rev-able motor, fire out of the exhaust, glorious nippon engineering.
What's not to like?

What's wrong with a fast center of gravity?
you can put an LS in it and have a lighter Corvette
Fast, pretty and just a little bit weird
The faster the gravity, the more it slows you down.
>very slow
At least you unintentionally told the truth in part of your post
This is blasphemy
>you could put an LS in it and re-engineer the entire car to suite
>or you could just buy a car engineered for the LS
Muh car puritage
See
but everything that came with an LS is ugly and fat compared to the FD
swapping sounds like a huge waste of money to me, use the money for building up a car with an LS already.
including the engine itself
modifying any car is a huge waste of money
might as well build what you want
yeah that 90 extra lbs is gonna ruin the car
and I dunno the LS looks a lot better
Well for one it's definitely higher and further forward, for two you need a gearbox and tailshaft as well, then you've got to build the diff/axles/control arms/subframe to handle the extra torque, probably the chassis too, also you'll probably want a new diff ratio, then you've got to re-engineer the brakes and suspension to match all the massive changes you've made.....
Just buy a Corvette.
Why are you responding to the trip at this point? He knows this. You know this. I know this. He wants replies.
ok but the point is you can build whatever you want
cool if you only like bolt ons and have no real ambitions when it comes to modding cars but some people are fine with all that work
Corvettes are ugly compared to FDs
I swear you fucking stalk me
Just put a LS in a Miata, is cheaper and lighter anyway...
yeah but maybe you want a FD body?
Go ahead and build your own spoopercar, sooner or later you'll realize
>"hey... those multi-billion dollar companies, who spend millions on research and development, coupled with decades of experience, actually know what the fuck they are doing
>90 lbs
delusional GM cuck lol
lol
show me a stock S13 faster than this
cars dont come from the factory optimized and are full of compromises
But Miata weights less, is cheaper and is a convertable.
>doesn't have an LS swap
basically LS swaps are pigfat, glad you understand
That may be correct for the engine itself, but since the 13b is a small low torque engine, you need a larger transmission as well as additional cooling to support the LS.
>correct for the engine
no, aluminium 13b's are like 100 lbs, aluminium LS engines are like 400lbs
yeah but its a Miata
doesnt matter its better than stock
I dont care if theyre shit and not worth it price wises its still one of the special things about it
to have a Corvette thats better than a Corvette
>it's better than stock
nope
Ok, than it is around 300 lbs plus the supporting mods.
You are like a little baby.
>Muh "Yong daberu dee" complex meme boys choice of car
Light, can be very power full, "Muh feel", etc
Its perfection that's why, Japan will never make a cooler car thanks to regulations
