And was this discussion about which was faster around RA, or which was cheaper?
you think so? youre wrong. vettes are good in corners, but theres this little detail called weight. and miatas dont have any. have you ever seen a spec miata? all they have is intake, evhaust, suspension, and no interior. the cage makes up for most of the weight of the interior, so theres not a big advantage there. and they arent on slicks, they are only allowed to run on DOT approved tires, and thats only on a regional level. nationally they are only allowed to run on toyo RA-1s.

and it doesnt matter whether its about faster or cheaper, the miata is both of those.
