Gather around and bask in the glory of the most interesting thing I’ve come across in my evening’s travels of the Car Side of the Internet: the “LSX Miata”.
Oh hello there lil guy, what’s that you got between those angry little eyes?
“More than you can afford, pal.”
Huh, clearly.
With an asking price of $26,500, this is five times my budget for a Miata. The current owner’s description of what we’re looking at:
Motor and trans from 02 SS Camaro (Fully forged LS1 to a 383, 10.5:1 compression, BTR stage 4 cam, LS2 coil packs, Robbins v8 roadster radiator and fans, Walbro 255 fuel pump)
Stock 02 Camaro computer wired into the Miata harness
has all functioning lights in gauge cluster etc for full diagnostic ability
200k (body miles), build mileage is less than 10k
This is basically a Miata shell on top of a monster.
Current owner claims it gets 25+mpg (93 octane only, of course) and is the most reliable “toy” they’ve owned yet.
If you’ve made it this far and you’re actually interested, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and strike a deal. They’re willing to consider certain trades. And, if you do acquire it, inbox me. I’d kind of like to drive it.

I don’t think this could possibly be any further from my ideal LSX Miata build. As bad as the paint, stickers, and price are, it’s that license plate that really bothers me. I think it would be a lo t cooler to look as stock as possible, with the only hint of what lays beneath the surface being the exhaust note...

I was going to knock the paint, but, when I considered the full specs, I was quickly distracted from aesthetics. Also, seller states that it is wrap- ready and includes photos of it wrapped, so that’s a simple enough fix.

What is going on with the roll bar? That’s... Scary looking.
It's a bit blurry, but that really looks like a crown royal shift boot. As nice as that engine sounds, there are waaaaaay too many red flags here. CP!
