Back in 97-98 my friend built a turbo Miata that was putting down 300 whp and a very tight suspension. I could break that thing loose at will. Problem was we kept blowing transmissions. Today there is a lot more support for these builds.

...says the guy with a Civic 
.
The car is light and RWD, and the rear end can be hung out rather easily. Welcome to the 1960's!
If the car isn't rusty, buy the car and join the SCCA. The car can run in Spec Miata or Improved Touring A (ITA). They are not that competitive in ITA, but I personally like racing various types of cars instead of seeing the same cars all over the track (JMHO). Road racing is the most fun you can have with your clothes (or firesuit) on.

Great cars, I've always wanted to do a ls1 swap into one, (possible, just a lot of hammertime). Not to mention there is TONS of aftermarket suppose, widebody kits that look decent, so you can stick a fat ass tire under there for some better traction.
Also, check the tires on the one you drove, worn out performance tires to me are like ET streets in the rain.

gay mans car or not... those things make badass roadcourse cars! rwd, well balanced, tight suspension... throw a roll cage in it, turbo it, and stiffen up the suspension just a bit, and you're good to go. i drove a buddys auto-x turbo miata and that thing was an absolute BLAST!
