    Go Mazda! I have to give it to the car that weighs like 1/2 as much.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    As much as you don't want to read it, the Neon(first gen) has the Miata beat in that claim. Later, QD.

    No it isn't. It's just seems that way because it is quicker than a heavy car. Later, QD.

    it's FWD, so no, it isn't. (DISCLAMIER: this is a biased opinionated hatred of FWD cars, so don't give me spec sheets or anything, I just hate FWD cars, and American cars, and a Neon is both)

    svt focus FTW.
    fwd cars can be fast as crap on a track with the right driver. basically, you have to drive one with more oversteer. its the opposite of RWD. FWD throttle = understeer. you have to learn to pitch the car into the corner. instead of going full throttle to rotate, you lift.
    WEIRD.

    QD sorry but a 1st gen Neon does not have a Miata beat for the best track car for the money...They had their moment in SS classes, but a Miata is RWD, lighter, fast rrevving, rock solid, the list goes on, and I do know about Neons as well so I am not just saying crap.

    ..and I pray you were kidding about a Miata not really being fast on a curvey road

    You CAN make FWD handle, I have owned five Hondas, all of which handeled VERY well. The Neon 1st gen DID have a good setup, at least the ones raced, but saying it's better then a Miata?

    kinda off topic... well not really, but nik, put a 5.0 HO mustang motor in your miata and i won't make fun of you too much.... that and you'll definitely smoke me. but we're not racing even for fun until i put new shocks and a new windshield on this car.

    There are other ways to make a Miata fast.

    Plus, you can't really laugh as soon as you take one into the twisty roads

    On the other hand you can make a Miata quick NA, turbo, other swaps, SC like his, etc etc. Miatas have endless options.
