Eddie have you ever ran across an Exocet? It's a bolt on frame kit for a miata that drops about 900 lbs or so.

The new Jaguar XKR-S GT looks pretty cool, have you thought about a GT-R?

My vote goes for a Lotus Elise with a K24 swap ( that engine should have came with that car from the beginning).

Tasteful, well built cars will eventually sell. It's all about finding the buyer that the car " speaks to". Highly modded cars are real bargains if you know what you're looking for.
