I totally agree with Miata's being very fast. I meant "horsepower" fast in
my earlier statement. Answer me this though, why would someone want to
drive a slower autocross car?

Hey Kirk -
You should take a look at the event results for the last regular
season. If you compare times between Katie in her slow Miata and all of
ESP, she would have placed first or second in every event that she
ran. So, either we were really slow last year, or that Miata is pretty
darn fast....
