In this thrilling episode, TheStraightPipes embark on a daring quest to acquire a 1990 Mazda Miata for a mere $1, without the luxury of launch control. With 116 horsepower and 100 lbet of torque emanating from its 1.6 L 4-cylinder engine, this iconic roadster promises a raw driving experience reminiscent of a bygone era. Delving into the Miata's lineage, they trace its evolution from the 1.6 L motor to the later 1.8 L version, highlighting its significance in automotive history.
The team meticulously examines the Miata's features, from its vlsd and quiet exhaust to the absence of an airbag in the steering wheel, a testament to its vintage charm. They delve into the intricacies of the car's design, including its single-stage paint and unique popup headlights, adding a touch of nostalgia to the driving experience. As they hit the road, the team tests the car's handling and brakes, reveling in the go-kart-like feel and comfortable seats that hug them through every twist and turn.
Exploring the Miata's quirks, such as the missing cup holder and unconventional door locking system, the team uncovers the idiosyncrasies that make this classic sports car truly one-of-a-kind. With a convertible top that adds a touch of whimsy to the driving experience, they bask in the joy of open-air motoring, reminiscing about a memorable movie scene involving a Neon SRT4. TheStraightPipes' journey with the $1 Miata is not just about acquiring a car; it's a celebration of automotive history and the sheer thrill of driving a true icon on the open road.
