sure...it may be available for that next season...
its on its way out i think...
it cost me 55 dollars to fill that thing up the other day...I need something smaller to commute in...perhaps something small, convertible...

Here's a neat choice for your next car.

Probably an engineering nightmare but looks fun to drive.

I feel like the Aflac Duck after talking to Yogi Berra.

Maybe you need to get one like Chris has:

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but I've got enough projects to keep me occupied. I've wanted to build a Suzuki Swift powered by a Hayabusa for SM. I think the only issue would be meeting the minimum weight. SM is a national class, isn't it? In any case, serious sleeper.

at least that way the swift would really be swift...

you could call it swift swift...or swiftest.

To get up to weight you could always go the F1 route and bolt a fat plate of tungsten to the bottom of the car. Get that center of Gravity nice and low.

I am looking for this in the TRD catalog and I can't find it.

I saw one of these sitting in the weeds (minus the Hayabusa, I'm sure) on the way back from Greenville on Sunday. There's your car!!

My God. It's the Chaparral 2J MR-2! Which I believe to be a street tire car.

Here is a '91 Miata that might be worth a look for a starting point in STS2.

Or an even better starting point for an SM2 car.

That seems like a really good deal. Yep... sometimes being in college is crappy.
