A buddy and I were talking this morning and we got into a debate over who would win.. Stock manual LS, or his stock manual miata.. I think I'd pull on him by 1-3 cars, but he thinks it would be more. Thoughts?
Brags, definitely good idea to go with a Kia. They might not have such a good rap but you cant really complain with a 10 year 100k warranty
and damn, i never knew a dealership would take such a heavily modded car due to the fact of trying to resell it. im sure they didnt give u such a good price

You're right. The my base has the LAP engine, good for 155hp. My manual '98 Z24 had the LD9 2.4 "tiwn-cam" motor good for 150hp. I'd walk miatas all day every day in that Z24. So you should have no problems.
