You know, I just said I thought that none of us would have problems
with the calculations, but in my haste I think I reversed the 4.1/4.3
factor in *estimating* the tope speed in 2nd & 3rd for the 94-97
Miatas.
I've updated my own personal table of Miata gearings with the pre-99
cars, and the results are here:

Surprisingly, the numbers that I cranked out with the calculator for
the 6-speed with 16" tires are dead-on with what I see on the
speedometer. Maybe my speedometer is actually correct!
If someone knows the rev-limit speed for the 1.6L engine, let me know
and I'll finish the top speed table.
Craig, are you happier with those numbers?
If anyone catches any errors on that page, email me privately. I
think the non-Miata list members are getting bored!
