    yeah its not slow at all. its about 20lbs heavier and has ~50 WHP more than the NB, so its no worse of a car at all. they just took away alot of the simplicity of the car with the updated interior and the ungodly number of autotragics produced. theres something like 6 manual na/nb miatas to 1 auto, and i dont know the exact ratio of the NC but have you been to the dealership?

    lol not really... sutherlin mazda @ the mall is the closest one i know of. there may be one near gwinnett place too, but idk. theres WAYYYY more auto nc's than manual.

    yeah, as far as being a "fast" straight line car, boost is the only way to go. miatas are made for curves and dont work very well out of their element.

    one thing you can do though, is get door handles. +50rwhp, guaranteed

    but seriously, i/h/e will turn it into a completely different car.

    i actually think that miatas are fast enough in their current form. I just dont like the FSDE 2.0 motor too much. Id love to see a 2.3turbo, and the 2.0 fs as a base. but the miata has never had multiple motor choices... 200hp, NA 2.3 would be nice..
