Nope but haven't people who own 09s already said that you can hit 60 in second?

You are right though it's the same engine (minus the extra oil injectors) and same horsepower so if someone can afford it, get the 09. If not, get a used. Simple.

The 09s have a lot of little perks that make it worth it IMO. Better Bose, bluetooth, aux jack, tighter suspension, extra injectors, bigger gas tank, manual from the Miata, new interior, one touch up and down for both windows. Quite a few small differences that make the 09s worth checking out.
