After driving a 99 Miata with Eibachs, it really makes me want to trade in
my Probe GT until I drag race my buddy in his Miata :P Once he learns to
drive his car, he'll probably beat me in raw times on the autox course
though.
Anyway, to the point... I think the Miata is fast because it can handle, and
15hp won't necessarily help it out a whole lot unless its a fast course.
The 6 speed will make things fun though.
I wish the Miata had an 8k redline like a few other 4 cylinder cars.
Anyone have a projected quarter mile time of the new Miata?
