At the end of the day I had considered many on this list when I bought the Porsche, it is the car I have longed for it has always been the one. I may just not have the means to afford the ownership. Thousands a year is not sustainable.
There is no substitute.

But, if you were going the miata route, I'd either turbo or supercharge a miata motor. I wouldn't do a motor swap, unless it was for a V-8. May as well turn it into a modern cobra.
