Lots more AMG's leave track days on tow trucks than S2000s or Boxsters.

For a track toy, I don't see any sense in buying a new Miata. You want a cheap light shell, because you're going to be swapping the entire suspension and probably building the engine regardless of what year you get. So I'd worry mostly about finding a straight rolling chassis, and put the rest of the money into track parts and the drivetrain.

I wouldn't mind a 2004 - 2005 Mazdaspeed, or a new MX-5 Club Power Retractable Hard Top.

Wtf is a targa kit?

This.

For the Targa Newfoundland, you need a car that can do everything. The suspension has to absorb some terrible roads at all speeds, but give tight handling and stability on smoother surfaces. It has to be comfortable for the long transits as well. The engine needs to be flexible with a wide powerband so there`s always acceleration available. And of course, it needs some safety gear to protect the driver and passenger.

Sounds like a pretty good car, doesn`t it? It is. And now we offer a package that lets you duplicate the 2006 Miata we ran in the 2011 Targa Newfoundland. With an extra 90 hp, beefed-up handling and safety gear, it`s ready to drive across the country, tear around the track - or roll up to the starting line of the Targa Newfoundland. We like to think of it as the Mazdaspeed that Mazda never made.
