Note the longblock comes out to just over 14k, so don't get too excited... with IM, TB and other stuff included though...
But it'll make 750hp as opposed to the FM 200 hp. So, probably the LS. :P
Edit: Still 1k cheaper than a fully built FM shortblock though. LOL @ FM.
Edit2: Longblock for longblock... almost the exact same price. Wow.

Now that I work at the detail shop I mental ---- every nice car that comes in. I stare at the interiors trying to decide what I love and what I hate. The more cars we work on as time goes on the better they seem to get.
If I was going to drop $30k+ on a car I'd want the interior to be ****. ---- the "performance" so much, only because that's what the miata is for. Just so long as it drives nice and gets out of its own way, I'm ok with that.
For me, I'd want heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel, leather everything, console full of buttons, plenty of space, etc etc.
I really like the new C-Class Mercedes. Mid 2000's Porsche. Cadillac. Audi. BMW.
---- spending that kind of cash on another project or gm junk.

he can't put together a running miata that's been out for 20 years and has a plethora of parts and modifications competing with some of the most aftermarket-backed cars out there.
you think he should get a car that just came out this year?
REALLY?
true. but even then the likelihood of this actually taking place is like 2%
