- The 1.6 Miata would get my nod for being easier to drive at its limits. Though, IMO, I don't think it has a chance of keeping up with the MR2 on most courses. Miatas have a shortwheel base and rotat

- I think a lot of the MR-2/Miata question (beyond driver) is the car set up. A stock aligned MR2 can be brutal if your aggressive. Back when I started in this sport, for the first few years, I heard t
