Almost, but in the end, my Miata is 10x more fun to drive. Its just a
little noisy on distance trips, but its got incredible seats that make it
easy to do 3-5k miles in a run, so I'll have some good memories of the V8
and a lot of respect for it, but I'll also have a smaller, lighter car that
handles far better and pretty close to halves the 0-60 time of the V8, which
with time not on its side I feel is about 9 seconds or so.
I'll probably look back to it at my new home and possibly get a 92-93 V8 or
an audi wagon, but its hard to say. I could really use a cheap super
reliable car to take the load of the Miata for a while, and an Audi doesn't
fit the bill. Maybe a 1995.5 S6 Does fit the bill. I'm just not on the
right drugs yet to make that logic happen :-D
If I got another V8 in the years to come, at least I know all the area's to
improve upon. The doors could really use some extra sound dampening as they
are for the most part bare. Lots of other little bits, like the ford
injectors and 034 mounts are a good idea too, that really cleaned up a lot
of issues with the car. AH, we shall see. Who needs a garage of 4 cars
anyway?
