Awesome way to go! Yippeee! You will so much fun with it! I love my 6-speed and it is the only way to get a sports car. Our Miata is an auto, still love it but not the same feel. Sounds like yours is set up to Autocross, going to do that? These cars are like large Go Karts in the way that they handle...Congrats from one car guy to another!

It's definately going to be autocrossed.....shame to ignore the vibe since its been sooo competitive so far and is really set up well....but eventually the miata will become a non-street legal track car....scca spec miata. and the vibe will be back running the cones.
