I gotta say, that chart is indeed bang on. My daughter wanted a Beetle sooo bad, my nickel my choice so it was a Civic.

Coincidentally, at yesterday's auto cross event a relatively stock looking MazdaSpeed Miata that he drove there came in second behind a tricked out / stripped out trailered Corvette. Tossing the living crap out of my Miata on the autocross course is great fun, can't recommend them enough.

wouldn't it be cool to push a 200 hp, 2300# car through the cones? yes it is, it's a Miata with a blower..

That along with VERY reasonable costs. I recently went through everything on my 64k mile '99 NB to start with a solid baseline, Items I dealt with;

-New Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator / Cap / Thermostat
-New Coolant
-New Centric Brake Rotors F & R
-New Hawk Pads
-New Mazda Timing Belt / Idlers / Water Pump / Cam and Crank Seals
-New Accessory Belts
-All New Mazda Rubber Hoses
-New NGK Plugs and Wires
-New Trans and Diff Fluids
-Some other small items

Granted I did all of the work myself which was pretty easy with Keith Tanner's book but all in for parts was ~ $800. Good Luck doing that with a Porsche.
