About a year or so ago, Mustangs and Fords did an article on a company, in
Florida IIRC, that took Miatas', removed the body panels and modified 1965
Mustang sheetmetal for it. It looked like a 7/8 scale 2 seater Mustang
convertible. They also added a supercharger to it. It seems like the body kit
was about $8K installed on your car and the supercharger a couple of g's more.
I liked it and made me think about picking up one of the little buggers some
day.

Subject: [Tigers] Monster Miata Madness and more.
"Problem is....it's a Miata. I have never seen a heterosexual man drive a
Miata."
I've seen a metrosexual driving a Miata. Is that close enough?
Last summer on Woodward there was "Monster Miata" with some type of body
kit that looked quasi Ferrari-ish. Not a bad looking conversion. It even
had
a badge on the front hood that said "Monster Miata" A friend of mine had
a
2003 Mazda Miata that he bought new and I took it for a drive. Maybe it
didn't have the "get up and go" of the Tiger but the suspension was light
years ahead in handling.
Back in August at a car show there was a Pontiac Solstice that a company
called Mallett installed a 400hp GM LS2 v8. You supply the car and
$21,285.75
for a V8 Solstice. I like the 75 cent charge. What could it be for,
stamps?
