    Better in what way?

    In looks, no.

    In the number of passenger it can sit comfortably, no.

    In cargo room? no.

    In ride quality? no.

    I would say our cars are about the same in terms of reliability and gas mileage.

    Your car might be faster, and handle better. So what? My engine is stock and my chassis design is horrible for handling. I bought my car to be a DD, not a race car like you chose the miata for. And my car is just that, a daily driver.

    So if that's your point, that your modded miata is faster than my stock maxima, good for you buddy. Because I could care less about how fast/slow my car is. I'll have something for your miata soon enough...

    For now, I'll concentrate on getting my degree thanks.


    on a side note, vq35 engines can make over 1000whp, so our cars aren't as weak as one might think...while rare there are 10 sec maximas.

    Yours would run 9's if you didn't have such a nasty hole in your fuel map. Plus that little bit of NOS timing.

    Well in looks I think yes, once again, peoples opinions.

    Number of passengers you win, I don't want passengers anyway lol.

    Cargo room? I don't carry many bags.

    Ride quality, could care less obviously being on metal bushings and seam welded chassis.

    Yeah obviously you want a DD, so what's the argument? I want a fast car you want a clean DD that's easy to drive. I am sure you will have something, what is it? A 350Z?
