backstabber to the wankel society no just messing around great looking car thou i my self would hafe chosen gray mica i was always thinking of getting a mx5 speed but in iceland we can us convertibles 3 times a year so it is of no use to me but yes as you wear saying the mx5 shears a lot with the rx8 and its handling is pretty ******* great and also it has 50%50% weight like the rx8 and i like it a lot thou it would do with a touch of power but i can see you putting that in order

IIRC a miata owner once posted the nc was supposedly faster, any comments? If the renny were driven properly at least?

Looked through a few pages and am stoked for you! Propper white rims would look <333 NB's still have my heart though but miatas in general are funnn!

Isaac Newton would drive a Miata. As long as you don't need the rear seat, the PHRT Miata is a great car. Only thing better from a handling and power perspective would be a 16x 2-seater coupe if and when Mazda brings back the 7.
