Here is a Miata kit with a Dodge-like front bumper cover. pretty sure it is out of business now.

The Daytona Coupe kits are much more to my liking...

Does it have the same funky pedal position some of the Cobra replicas have? Could it be a good street legal toy / track terror?

I haven't driven one, but I sat in the blue & silver Ford Motorsports '33. I wear size 8.5 normal width shoes and I thought the foot box was ridiculously tiny. With 3 pedals, there is nowhere to put your left foot when it isn't on the clutch pedal. I don't mean that there isn't a dead pedal, rather there is about 2" between the kick panel and the clutch pedal.

Awesome video. SPOILER: the '33 beats a Gallardo's lap time on a sub-60 second course with the Lambo in the hands of the rental company's pro driver on his home track. Pretty impressive.

Through a strange series of events, I briefly had an '01 Miata* with that Viper nose. Then I spun it on bald tires on a wet off ramp and tapped a jersey wall, and that nose went to the big fiberglass recycler in the sky.

*Previous owner was a kiddie porn convict. Like I said: long story.

Take a 87-97 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis, remove everything bolted down and replace with these panels.
