    Z3 the dominant Gene?

    This is interesting, sure looks like a Z3 to me but the more I look at it the more differences I see. Enjoy!!!

    That's one of the better Miata kits I've seen, but the trunk is too long in relation to the rest of the car. For $5000 you can get a real Z3.

    I realize that this kit car was made a long time ago, but what a crazy waste of time and money it has turned out to be...

    Did you just inadvertently describe all of our cars?

    It would look so much better with some larger wheels and a less ground clearance.

    Stubbornness is a virtue....

    OneWokf, if that was directed to me, I'm not as witty as I think I think I am, I was trying to find a way to share this ad with the community and the title sounded pretty good at the time.

    The way the front end is kind of curled up, it looks more like a Z3 after a frontal impact. Speaking of impact, I look around on the salvage sites and it would appear that the Z3 hold up fairly well in a collision, front or rear. The cabin is rarely disturbed even when the damage to the front of rear is quite significant.

    Yep, I paid notably less than $5000 for a 2-owner 2.8 that is several years newer, would smoke that Miata, and retains its harmonious authenticity.
    I'm a bit baffled why someone would do this.; a first-generation Miata has ample charm. This car, not so much.

    For shared genes, see Suzuki Cappucino.
