This is just in good fun so lets not start a flame war. First off, I like the Miata and respect what it can do but I also like a little selection.
"Beaters" is a bit ambiguous I know but it makes a decent thread title. What I mean by "Miata Beaters" is this:
A car of any era that shares a similar layout to the Miata. Preferably RWD, 2 doors, and lightweight. It would have to be competitive around a track with a Miata, stock or with modifications, within reason. Total cost involved should be on par with any of the Miata generations. FWD could also work as long as it is competitive.
As to whether NA, NB or NC Miatas are being considered, I have no preference. You can pick whichever to compare to.
Without too much thought to the modifications required here are a few I thought would be interesting.
