A great regional car but a touch heavy at 2700-2800 lbs and a soft torque
curve from the 13B. Wheels a little narrow for the weight..

Just out of curiousity, why is the 2nd Gen Rx-7 GTU or GTUs uncompetitive
in CS?? *On paper* it looks to be a great car for CS, but it must not play
out
that way on the track... why?
BTW, the 1.6 Miata is a fun car, and will serve you well.
