It is up to you but if it were me and it was going to be a project car and not really a DD I would buy a Miata because it will outhandle 90% of the cars out there. They are light enough where you don't need much horespower to make them fly. 93lowbody on here used to have one and with 107 hp to the wheels could still go 120mph, it's a great car even though some people will make fun of you don't let it get to you. I would rock on all day long, and if you have the money, put a little turbo on it, 200whp in that car could make it a beast just by itself. Eclispes are cool cars I would drive on as a daily but they are pretty heavy though...
