Don't ever ask a question on 6GC that involves "Celica or XXX Vehicle." Go to a neutral site lol. Or decide for yourself. Drive the Miata...they're fun. Awesome for autocross too. I don't think Alltracs are anything great to be honest. Everyone sackrides them here. And to tell you the truth, it won't appreciate in value like whoever said here. If it isn't running trade it, get a FlyinMiata kit, and I bet you have a lot of fun.

I didn't wanna say it, but I agree with you. Waaaay too much bias for the altrac on this site because kids see "AWD" and "turbo" and automatically think it's god. I love celicas, I love Altracs, but I'm willing to admit it's too heavy and underpowered for what it is, and that AWD is faaaaar more overrated than most people make it out to be. Then throw in the fact that Miatas are very very good at what they do, and it's really no competition.

Yea the altrac is sexy, yea it's rare, yea it's more than most ricers have; it's a special car..... but that doesn't make it superior. If the darn thing isn't running, I'd be all over that Miata, because cars come and go, and you'll be far better off and happier in the long run knowing you tried some of everything.

your totally right. If its broke and not running, dont even try to put any effort or anything into it. Because anything that you have to put some time into isnt worth it anymore. God forbid you should ever have to try to get something the way you want it.
