Please bestow your knowledge onto me.
I've considered LS1 miatas but they just seem a bit overpriced and overpowered for a beginner track car.

The Holiday season is upon us (since September it seems...) and there is no better time to start an LSX Miata conversion. The LSX Miata is the perfect fulfillment of your wish for an 11 second roadster that can be built for around $10-15k. How is this possible? Check it out:
- The average price of '90-'93 Miata is about $2,500.
- The fair market value of an LS1/T56 drivetrain is $3,500.
- Our Complete LSX Miata Conversion Kit is $3,499.99.
- Misc. items, like cooling and fuel systems, roughly $1,500.
- Total invested: $10,999.99!!!
- Find the right deal on chassis/drivetrain and you can save even more!
What can you expect from an LSX-powered Miata?
A 2400-2600 pound roadster that produces 285-300 horsepower/torque and retains the handling and drivability of a factory Miata.

The only advantage I see it having is that Miatas are way more common than 240SXs are sourcing parts would probably be a bit easier.
