[quote=spdrun]Hopefully the new BMWs will keep the option of a real transmission, not a ladyboy autotragic only.

As far as the Miata, I like them under 200hp. If you have additional HP and torque, you need to pork up other parts. Driveshafts. Structure. Brakes. You’ll turn a 2300 lb car into a 3000+ lb porky pig very quickly.[/quote]Uh, no. You can’t pork up a Miata to 3000lb even if you try.

Alfa Romeo 4C weigh <2000 lb and have 240HP.
Cayman S weigh <3000 lb and have 340HP and a H6.
Subaru STi with 4 doors weight <3000 lb and it has AWD.
