Backup plans - what's yours?

[Whitboy82]

I think a miata or a GR86 would make a more fun toy honestly. Limits are too high on the other cars to actually have fun in the streets.

Yeah, I would seriously look at an ND2, think they would be a lot of fun.

I’m seriously considering putting deposits down on everything and turning it into a business...

Between the Miata and the GR86, I would personally lean towards the GR86. GR86's back seat would be perfect for my Shiba. Both cars are great though.

Not sure how I feel about the motor in the GR86, but something about the convertible is probably what drives me towards the Miata.

Engines blowing is due to the factory defect, sealant blocking the oil pickup. Should have been fixed.

I would like a convertible more if I didn't get bit by mosquitos taking one step outside.

It was fun riding in my friend's NC Miata when I visited him in California though.

Engine, as far as I can tell only 1 guy had his motor fail.
While there have been quite a few documented cases of excess RTV (like insane excess) it appears to still be small sample size and all the reports of oil pans dropped have been from early models. I wouldn't let that deter you, it's still a great car. Plus that's why you have warranty.

all those fake vents and overstyled design that looks outdated already its a put off. if you're gonna spend 60k for a manual coupe might as well spend few grand more and buy the m2.

A few years ago, the M2C could be had for less than a Supra A91. I bought my 2021 M2C for $56k new with exec pack. Granted, this was at the start of COVID before prices really took off. It wasn’t difficult finding dealers who were discounting the M2C by 5-10%.

I’m guessing the new M2 manual will be priced a bit higher than the Supra manual (but more or less in the same price range, depending on options).

If the Morizo is going for close to $60k or beyond, that’s bonkers. Makes the new M2 look like a bargain, even though I don’t want another one.

For $60k, I'd get an 86 and an ND2. Best of both worlds. Job done.

You can't get bit if you're moving! (Says the guy with 2 convertibles lol)

Anyone consider older used 911? Anyone had both Type R experience and Porsche?

there is actually quite a few on rennlist that have Porsches and have a type R as there daily. It’s a very fun car at least the last generation was. Don’t see this one being any different.

Looks like it could be very nice…front looks very aggressive

I'm sure it'll get a detuned Type R motor, around 290hp. Doesn't look to have the brembo and I'm sure it won't have the dual axis front suspension. Honda wouldn't give a Type S the R core parts. Type S getting the left over FK8 muffler?

 

[tuhroo]

That definitely has brembos, all type s models do

it’ll probably be 300hp or so, going to be the same shit as a ctr with a better interior
