Does a strut tower brace make much difference in handling at the track?




Dash looks a little rough and some cosmetic imperfection on exterior (small crack in front and I think a fender with clear coat issue).
What’s a fair price for buyer and seller?

I'm not a race car driver or race car builder, but in my opinion adding strut tower bracing to one of these cars would only make a difference if it's to be driven by someone capable of competently pushing the car to its performance limits. Hobbyists & amateurs might enjoy adding chassis-stiffening features like this to be able to point out they've got them, but unless the car is flexing so much without it that the driver can actually tell the suspension is moving out of alignment while running around the track it's probably not really needed.

Completely ridiculous. Huge respect for the engineers at Flyin' Miata, but at the end of the day, it's still a NA Miata. At that price point, you could nab a C7 Vette. Wouldn't corner as well, but it would have a higher top speed and turn more heads. Oh the magical ability of auctions to kill financial responsibility and rationality...
