What's a light, RWD, quick, good cornering car that isn't an MX5 or convertible?
>>17741554
MR2, AW11 or SW20
Granted, hardtop SW20 NAs, and especially turbos, can fetch a large sum of cash.
>>17741554
s2000 with a hard top.
>>17741554
E36.
>>17741554
Miata isn't exactly quick but ok.

Not an mx5 kinda limits your choices
>I want a miata but I don't want a miata what do /b/?
When will this meme end?
>>17741856
I don't believe it ever will
at least now there're fiatas
>>17741856
When they start making Miatas with a hard top.

what do you buy if you want a miata but need back seats?
911
>>17741554
hard top zzw30
GT86
e30 with interior strip and chassis reinforcement
>>17741580
lol no even with 3.0 its a slow piece of shit that excels at nothing but highways. Even e90.
Fucking had 3 mr2's do twisties in the night with e90 and e36 and we waited an entire smoke break for them. Even a seat leon with engine being run in outperformed them.
Unless its a M bimmer, they're slow pieces of shit. Maybe for you americans who you only get shitty landbarges they're exciting.
>>17742709
>even seat leon
>even
1.8t is one of the fastest shitboxes you can get in this price range 0-100 wise
E30
E36
>>17741856
It's not neccessarily a maymay. I'm too tall to fit in a Miata for example. I'll need something a littler larger but still want nothing too heavy.
>>17743159
I'm between 6 foot 2 and 6 foot 3 tall and drive a GT86 and it's comfortable.
RWD is a meme.
>>17745320
T H I S
>>17745320
Your a meme
>>17742679
I'm also interested in this, from all the searching I've done 240sx seems to be the answer, though unlike the Miata you'll have a hard time finding one in good condition.
>>17745320
Low power RWD is the biggest meme. RWD only matters once you're putting down serious power. If you're not, FWD's disadvantages are pretty much null as long as you set your suspension up right for your car/style/track.
>>17746404
In some cases (mostly amateur rally) FWD has advantages because of shit like Scandinavian flick
If it didnt have to be rwd, then Id say a golf 4 is miles ahead of any miata, but other than that, probably some bmw.
>>17743078
>woooow 0-100 matters so much in twisties
it was a family wagon
>>17743093
wrong, they're slow as fuck unless built to shit and back.
All non m bimmers are worthless for anything other than badgewhoring.
>>17747963
>bimmers are worthless

That is impossible, sir. You cannot pick golf without picking quick.
>>17749296
>1.0 with 109hp
>3000 pounds

I'm the first to defend mid-tier 200-400hp cars as not slow, but anon pls.
my car

>>17741604

The '80 Fairmont V8 version is rated at 120hp and is weighting 1316kg. There is another version that makes 120hp but only wieghts 1220kg. I don't think it's the best contender for being a drift car.
A GC8 with RWD conversion.
>>17749857
Swap out the engine for a 351W and a T5, bolts right up, is cheap and can be found in most junkyards, and has enough torque to slide the ass end out before modding it
Mustang suspension components swap on to it as well
>>17749857
>V8 making the same than a 1L i3 turbo nowadays
wow
>>17749339
2800~ pounds, 100 hp and 1.9 in my case, and yes, its quick believe it or not, amd if you do an ecu remap, you can get over 120 hp from it.
