LOL, fair enough, I'll be there 
ps- I didn't necessarily include the "SVT" or "Speed" versions of said cars in my summary.

If you don't want a Miata get an STS car. That's a good affordable class with plenty of options and lots of competition.

STS doesnt mean small. Most cars on the road are eligible for STS. An IS300 would be a good car to get. They can be really competitive in STS. I have an integra set up for that class and i believe i am pretty competitive in that. As long as its a NA motor and under 3.1 or 3.2 liters, it is pretty much eligible.

OK, I was just looking at the SCCA rules since I didnt know what cars were included there. And from what I saw STS is for two seaters, ie: Miata, del Sol, CRX, MR2, etc.
"STS
Sports Cars w/ 2 seats
Engine size (maximum)
- 1.9L normally aspirated (no forced induction)
No Limited Slip Differentials except standard viscous-types
ST Rules except engine displacement limits"
from: http://cms.scca.com/documents/Solo_R...nufacturer.pdf
I understand the rules changed for 2009. Looks like one of the rule changes moves you from STS to ST.
