true,i want to get a T2 someday...but i think my miata is little faster than my RX-7 was

[Big Baller]

Halfwit, if you really want a track car send me youre email and Ill send you links to Miatas for sale. You can buy one that someone was specing out to run Spec miata. That way if you want to run it on track in a real race class you can.

[joesblk_teg]

hahah every ones getting miata's, ive had three hondas before this all of them were faster then my miata but none as fun to drive!

[Hulud]

very true

[Kyle]

People have been getting miatas for a while. If any of you have read grasroots motorsports magazine you will know its been a real popular track/autocross car for a while.

[Marty]

Halfwit, I have one for sale. It's not stock though. PM if you want details/pics

[Elbow]

Miata FTW

[speedminded]

I always thought about building one: import one from across the pond in silver or black w/ hardtop and conservative front bumper/lip, black tint, sleepy eyes w/ projectors, highest quality suspension i could find then dropped on SSR Comp C's, Panosports, or crazy offset TE37's, etc. Just clean & simple :goodjob:

[SampaGuy]

u should consider aw11 mr2s too

[Kamikaze]

I drove a MX-5 a few months ago at Zoom Zoom Live. That car is sooooo much fun to drive. If it wasn't so small, I'd get one. :D

[speedminded]

u should consider aw11 mr2s tooLotus FTL... j/k :tongue: Fun but parts & upgrades are no where near as cheap and plentiful as the miata :2cents:

[Cool Cat GTR]

Lots of advantages to owning a Miata. Besides the fun factor, they are pretty cheap to buy and maintain. Usually the original owners are older folks that never beat them to death. Insurance is cheap as hell. Nice 1st gens can be bought for $4,500.00 or less all day long and 2nd gens for $6,500.00 or less. Easy to work on, top comes off, and decent gas mileage. Probably one of the best values on the market. I love mine for sho.

thats y i got a miata,i was looking at MR2s,but all the ones i looked at were ragged and had no records of anything,so i got a miata owned by a middle age woman,and had tons of records

[Halfwit]

ppl want too much for teir mr2's i understand their not cheap, but 10k+ for a 96 v. is gay.

[toonz]

Say it aint so Halfwit?:cry:

[Halfwit]

[toonz]

awww man!

[toonz]

I guess if one toy is getting worked on get another one for the time being!

i said aw11, meaning a mk1... the mk2 is not in the same class as a miata.

this (http://www.importatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=102109) one is probably putting down 160-170whp since it has a bigger sc pulley, and weighs about the same as a miata and handles just as good (if not better, since its mid-engine). they are usually really cheap, that one is $5k because its really nice.

[Cool Cat Racing]

Handling on each is about the same given the same mods. The miatas though seem to dominate over the MR2's in the autox classes and stuff is easier to get and easier to work on. I say miata all day over any of the MR2's for handling and fun to drive factor. Of course I'm biased since I own one and never liked the handling or upkeep on the Mk1 MR2's.

I agree. :goodjob:

[Congogrey]

I think that both cars are fun as well. I think there are two reasons for the Miata being so much more popular with tuners and auto-x.

1 - The Miata has been around longer
2 - the mid mounted engine on the MR2 Gen 2 is tougher to work on in the drive way.
