BECK!!!!

You might want to check with Beck regarding their Subaru-based cars. Tell them what you're looking for and they might be able to fix you up.
SE has done turbo Suby Spyders. That has to be one hell of a ride!
If I lived in Tucson, a Spyder would be more of a consideration.
Al W posted:Jethro, Having built a mid engine car and knowing the handling capabilities, that is one of the reasons I want an SAS. That along with the suspension, ABS, trunk space, attention to detail, etc. What hp engine do you have?
The one I'm buying has teh standard Subaru 2.5l 170ish horsepower.
It is a 2009 motor, and has an Impreza front suspension, Legacy rear suspension.
4- wheel disk ABS breaks.
I hopefully take possession this weekend.
I just talked to Rock West Racing, they have a Spyder RS that is a larger frame to accommodate more engine and taller people (I'm 6'3")
Hey Al, call me!

They are all the best. And the Suby + Transaxle will drop right in. With a mind like yours, the turbo-Suby Spyder seems the obvious route to wherever you seem to be heading.
At this point, I'm leaning towards Beck.
Todd, How is the leg room? I'm 6'3".
Once in the car it is actually very spacious. My seat is moved up quite a bit ...however I am only 5'9 ish. You don't have a top so that isn't an issue. In my car the seats are lower because of the type of seat. Regardless...they are just completely bad to the bone!
How many HP is the Suby? And what does the car weigh?
It does sound nasty! That's exactly the way I had to get in and out of the Cobra.
Todd that sounds bad a$$
Thanks Joe. In person it is so much better.
Is this a joke? If you want an SAS... buy one used since they only produced less than a handful. The ones I know of have been in and out of the shops for trans work, engine mounts failing, etc. OutFront Motorsports and Coolrides Customs have seen the same 2 over and over in the last couple years. This happens by the fact their parts are pulled from wrecked donors and for the price they are selling them at... sorry to say, you'll never receive your order. Physically not possible to build one for that cheap unless you are taking 5-6 years scrounging up used parts and building one at a time in your garage as your full time job/hobby without any overhead costs. It's basic math. The owners of SAS have scammed numerous buyers which pisses me off. Gives the industry a bad reputation.
We can build you an unique 356 Speedster or Coupe. Mid-engine.. nope, but I can guarantee you it will out perform any out there 
We use the #1 suspension in the industry. RideTech. Helps put the traction to the ground. Depending on how much you want to get into this build, we can do anywhere from 230hp NA Subaru powered with cams (our base engine package) to 400+ whp. When I say depends on your wallet, I mean it simply because the more power, the more gearbox you need to handle it.
Our upholstery is the "Official Upholstery Shop of the Barrett-Jackson Auto Collection". All our bodies/chassis/components are made using 100% new parts and here in the USA.
One of my clients owns an all aluminum Kirkham Cobra, he loves it, but there was an article just done in Car Builder Magazine in the US as well as Kit Car Magazine in the UK about his preferred vehicle to drive over his Kirkham Cobra and his Superformance Cobra 
Article can be found here for Car Builder Magazine, I haven't scanned the UK magazine article into our website yet:

The guy above in that article ordered a 356 Pre-A bent window coupe from us with a 230hp NA Subaru engine and air conditioning. Should be back from paint any day now. (fingers crossed).
If I can assist you, I would love to earn your business,

You got me at .... "is this a joke" lol 
Actually, Daniel, SAS has produced more than a handful, not that I'm defending them.
I'm happy to have just purchased one on the used market for less than the cost of a rear engine new build.

The used SAS route seems to be the only way to get one. You did your researched and realized quickly what you needed to do and you followed through. Others have been waiting 8-10 years for theirs. Heck, you might even use it a while and sell it to someone else before one of those other people get theirs.
Enjoy the ride.
Thanks, Robert! I'm having a blast driving it, but unfortunately, the weather isn't cooperating anymore.
I'm now a believer in the mid-engine design! This think corners like it's on rails. I tried to get her ass end out a couple of times, and she just held tight all the way through the squeal of the turn.
The thing about a mid-engine car (I've owned one) is that they handle really well on dry pavement. On wet pavement or when pushed too far they start spinning and you can't steer them out (ever seen a formula one car spinning?). Be careful out there.
It reminds me of a 4x4, lots of traction oh oh, I'm in the ditch flipped over. don't wish it on anyone.
No free lunches, kiddies. W/ a mid-engine, all else equal, which it rarely is, the limit for controlled speed in a turn is higher, but when you get there, "there" turns into "out of here" very quickly. W/ the engine hanging out the rear, the limit for slip is lower, but the situation is less dramatic, and, if you have practiced, you can manage the slip without looking at where you have been, but rather by looking where you are going. Something like that. I'd say that given everyone keeps going more or less in the right direction (might be some fun yawing involved), the mid engine car will do so a bit more quickly. That's my spin -- oops -- I mean opinion.
