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!

nc's run 14.9 bone stock and are very happy with bolt ons......with full exhaust and intake can get you in the high 160's to low 170's whp.....at 2500ish lbs

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.
