Yeah. 300 lb ft at idle is a bit different than the Miata, I’d say. That motherfucker handles great but holy shit it is boring in a when you get on the gas.

Nah, not really. This one just was CPO @ 1850 miles w/ all of the shit I wanted - Alcantara, Z51, Manual Transmission, Magnetic Ride & Laguna Blue specifically - at a pretty good price. The 2LT (basically fancier interior shit, cooled seats, etc) was a kicker. Got them to knock a whole bunch more off their ask price since they bought it back in April and felt it was the right move to drive a bit to grab it instead of locally sourcing.

For sure. There was a couple of local ones I checked out but either more haggard due to previous owner burnouts, worse colors or options, etc.

Those new Stingrays look great. Congrats!

All for travelling to get what you want. I’ve been to Cleveland twice (CC and Fiero), Troy, MI (Expedition), Wilmington, NC (GTO). Just out of high school I went to Kingston, ON for a Geo Tracker convertible but at the time I lived just a couple hours from there.

There are no other similar cars CPO almost new to look at for a similar price point. [#pushrods](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=pushrods) /thread

No one said to stick with the Miata? Just wondering what other options were for that price.

Les Stanford was one of my favorite dealer lots to walk around on as they are the [#1](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) corvette dealer in the country. They always have cool cars for sale.

While you’re there, the Henry Ford Museum is less than a minute away. You should go if you never have been there before.

Nice purchase BTW. Great color and options choices!
