The M series cars just felt too big and heavy for my taste. The C7 was hilariously fast but for that money I want better build.

981 GTS was first choice but the order books have closed and the 718's sound god awful. And used ones are selling for near MSRP right now.

MX-5 blew me away for what it costs. And $2K in mods and it'll be running ~200-210 whp in a 2300 lb car.

In 2-3 years maybe will trade it for a 981 GTS off lease or an M2 CSL if BMW can get their weight problem under control.
Is this going to be your primary car? Id like to get the latest generation mx5 too after a I run a FRS for a few years as a secondary car.
