S2000

The NC Miata would be a perfect home for the RENESIS, since it's actually very similar to the RX-8 under the skin and you don't really need much more stuff to make it work. Theres a guy in Australia who did it with a wrecked Miata but I don't think anyone has done it here because the NC is still pretty new and expensive.

Maybe S2K with RE transplant. I'm not talking about the NA renesis engine, but the older one with turbo from the FD3S. It should have enough torque. Small enough to fit an S2K, maybe.

Probably but why not just drive the RX7 then? It's already lighter than the S2000 and has back seats and is quite good looking.

There is a SR20DET mounting kit for the S2000 though.

WS6 is a Pontiac RPO (extended to a nameplate/trim), not a Ford one. And if you were talking about the Firebird/TA w/WS6 package remember that car (unlike certain year Mustang Cobras) still has a live axle rear end, which is definitely going to have the S2000 turning circles around it.

I know its a Pontiac and I know it has a solid axle. But bang for buck it gives some better choices than the OP comparing a Mustang GT.

by 'fly' i was referring to "Yeah the Miata probably actually goes somewhere when you just open the throttle just a bit, as opposed to the S2000 which goes nowhere unless your foot is on the floor"

i've never discredited the way the miata handles (since everything works great together as a package), but i find ignorance overflowing in that previous statement comparing acceleration. sounds like he writes for fox news. anyways this is a moot point... OP isn't considering a cobra, ws6 or miata and could probably give a flying ***** about the comparisons. more pros & cons at www.s2ki.ca

Sorry, I missed that you were talking acceleration wise. My 91 doesn't pretend to be fast, but it's fun!
