Those older Miatas are really fun cars to drive. As close as you can get to the thrills of a super-fast go-kart

Everytime you put the top up or down with one hand, think of the hassle that a Solstice owner is going through and you will be glad you kept the Miata

I loved mine, but I couldn't do the one-handed top trick with the Sparco seat or roll bar.

Mallet Cars is doing factory-esque kits with the Soltice and the LS7 but they're a lot of money.

You can also fit an LS7 in a 1st gen Miata too.

Mallett has a kit for the solstice that will get you 650 horses...it will cost you approx. $55,000.00

And it will still have an awkward top. GM can't seem to get the small things right.

I like the outside lines of the Solstice though I think the stock rims are too big. The brakes look really wimpy behind them. It looks much better top-down.

A hardtop coupe could be kinda cool.

Originally posted by ChemEnhanced So far I am really happy with my purchase.....I laugh though when they say the vehicle is only $26,000.00 (approximately). If you get the absolute base model then yeah it is but the base model looks like shit. By the time all was said and done with my solstice it was $40,000

Im sorry to hear. HORRIBLE pricing. NOT something to be proud of. you paid 40k for 26k worth of vehicle. Ouch.

Miatae are far from ghey, though I can understand how people get that mistaken impression.

You're right about the 7L not fitting, I was thinking LS2.
