Miata is Japanese for "skateboard", I think. That's about the size of their frame.......
I always thought that Mazda would have been onto something if they had made it a couple feet longer and wider, maybe turbocharged it.........no, wait that's an RX7! They are little toys and a waste of time. The only people I've ever met that drive them are pretentious ******.


Bottom line: Way to own!

He said they were around 2200lbs or some crap like that ... he is hoping for mid 12's when the track opens. I have no idea what it will run, but I can whip it's *** anytime, so I'm not too worried.

I met a dude with a supercharged Miata. Runs high 12's. Talk about weight reduction. But then again, he's driving a Miata. Might as well shave your nuts and paint your pubes blue to go along with the car.
Unless you're a serious SCCA autocrosser, or you're a hot chic, there's no reason a grown man should sit in one of those contraptions.

A 5.0 or LS1 miata would be plenty of reason for me to drive one.

"Sleeper" is cool.
