All of the special editions have gained value over time, so there are a lot of collector who will pay any price for it.

"Miata passes Ferrari while racing"

Looks more like: "Ferrari bottlenecks race for a 1/4 lap"

I have seen FD RX-7's with LS motors, and that is a much better marriage imo.
The Monster Miata is the only one I ever wanted. I watched a show about it and in the end one of the owners said something into the camera while rolling in 2nd I think. Next he jumped on it, the ass end was buried in a cloud of smoke. He did a 180 and took off down the road banging gears.

I was never a huge fan of the Datsuns but that one looked pretty good. The brick behind the wheel killed it for me.

Funny story; it's physically impossible for me to fit in any year miata. I've tried getting in one with aftermarket race seats that were much lower than stock, knees still rested on dashboard and head still completely above the windshield. I've never even tried getting in one with the top up.
I shall never know the joys of one of the cheapest, most fun sports cars out there.
