I didn't realize it was coming so soon.

>it'll be just about 30 grand all-in
So, big production run or long waiting list?

>>14714749
It's a Miata with different sheet metal so there isn't any production problems. But with a price of $30 grand for a sub 200hp car there isn't going to be any waiting lists.

I was hyped when I saw its debut. I was completely infatuated when I heard it.

I'll be looking to go back to a roadster towards the end of summer and I think I've found what I'll get.

>>14714782
Maybe I'm overestimating demand then. I thought the 4C would be hard to get too, but those seem to be sitting on lots right now.

Seems like a pretty tempting car, although I wonder if it would be a mistake to have two roadsters.

i dig it

I bet it'll be an incredible car to drive in standard

Yeah I'm sure a 1.4 liter with turbo lag will really bring out the real driver experience.

so, can you swap the engine in the new miata?

>>14714884
>turbo lag
please explain further? what do you mean by this?

>>14714884
I didn't know that they're still using turbos from when I fucked yur mum

>>14714884
careful, turbo lag isn't the same as boost threshold
you probably mean high boost threshold, as in the power curve does nothing for a while then shoots straight up

Seriously interested in this car, have actually talked multiple times with the Fiat dealership in Raleigh/Cary about one, although the horsepower issue, combined with Fiat depreciation is making me think I will hold and pick one up used in about a year

>>14714899
>the horsepower issue, combined with Fiat depreciation
I'm hoping 4C prices drop for similar reasons, but it's still too early to tell

>>14714931
You already have some used 2015 4C's ;listing in the high 50's on Autotrader. In a another year, I would imagine them being 30-40K depending on condition

>>14714952
>In a another year, I would imagine them being 30-40K
If you can get one that cheap in just a year, then I know what my next car is for sure.

The base price is actually ~$55k without options, so high 50's might be about right for some cars. Upper 40's in a year or so would be nice though.

>mfw my tuned 15 year old ls1 gets 300rwhp with auto gearbox tune, otr cai and full exaughst
Not bad considering my particular car was barely 200rwhp stock

Nothing beats that V8 sound especially ls with xforce fucking fap

>>14714795
sounds ok 2me

needs a better mic

>>14714894
This.

Mucking around with tarbos alot in Automation or BeamNG or any other game/sim with adjustable boost will teach you alot

Modern turbos dont 'lag' in the traditional sense but the boost still doesnt come on in alot of modern cars till at least 3000rpm+

>>14714997
>early ls1 making 300rwhp though 4l60e with pod filter, exhaust and tune
LOL! was this also done on a dynojet?

Not likely to be easy since the abarth 124 uses the NC miata 6 speed

thank fucking god because the ND transmissions are made of glass

>>14714884
>turbo lag

lol, the fiat in it's standard tune reaches peak torque 2k rpm sooner than the skyactiv, and on paper, without tune, it already has 36 more torque.

the first test drive is in pasta, i can't understand for shit

>>14715042
Dont worry about the faggot, plenty of LS1's pushing 220-240rwkw with just an exhaust, intake and tune. Just sold mine that put down 223rwkw.
But they're still gutless under 2.5k especially behind the auto and stock ratio rear end.

>>14715317
And according to another thread here costs somewhere in the $40k area.

Not to mention FWD.

>>14715817
its just going to drive like a torque-y-er version of the ND
