Perfect specs, just perfect. My GTI is the closest I could find given real life (room for golf clubs, etc) considerations. Would love more options (with manual transmissions). At some point I'm gonna test drive an m240ix (did I get those letters right?) and maybe whatever Audi has in that range. Might take a spin in the GM/Ford options but not a huge pony car fan due to crap finish quality and materials. Did see a really sharp Camaro SS yesterday that had me back on cars.com.
A modern version of the Mazdaspeed Miata would be amazing. The aftermarket can pretty easily get 240 HP out of a turbo kit. One of my someday projects is to build an ND1 RF. 240 HP, 2,400 lbs, great suspension, sign me up! That or swap an FD RX7 13B-REW turbo motor into my RX8.
