Im currently window shopping for a very late 986 or early 987, the plan is to pull the trigger if the "right" one pops up between now and the spring assuming a house issue doesnt pop up. As a daily the Polestar is great, but I'm missing engine sounds and shifting gears.

No cayman over the boxer? I’ve seen some caymans that would fall under the $50-40 but have some miles on them.
 
I’m open to either, but i made the mistake of test driving a boxster with the top down and i feel like i want that kind of thing in my life

FR setup is no slouch....sticking your head above the windshield could be considered active aero....JDM engineering! (I think?)

Mazdaspeed MX-5: 178hp - 2529 pounds
2006 Civic Si: 197hp - 2877 pounds
2015 Civic Si: 205hp - 3002 pounds
2023 Civic Si: 200hp - 2952 pounds

I would venture to say they would be just about equally as fun?

Yeah, it’s 178hp for the Mazdaspeed. It gets a turbo where non MS Miata’s do not. It’s a 2 year production run of a total of 5000ish units produced.

I was going by stock published figures. I know your car might have more power but no way it’s 210hp from factory.

Oh. Yeah for sure. More like 170. But again the si wasn't very fun stock. Mine would be closer to the power to weight ratio of the Miata is what I'm saying.
