Miatas are evil fast little things that handle well.

Met a guy with a really well set up miata, supercharged. We were cruising together towards Alices and I was surprised by how well that miata handled and how fast it caught up to me. The supercharger made it even more evil!!!

Their badass.... the guys name was Spencer. He was very knowledgable and was giving me tips on what he observed with my suspension. I got too much low and my car starts acting funny when i hit a bumps during turns. He said even though i took advantage of my tires to its fullest during our little escapade, he said he could smell my brakes and see my car bottom out on certain parts. He also noticed that my car was oversteering and was curious on what kind of suspension setup i had. Hell of a day and i just got back from tahoe.

Come down to autox and see what a well set up Miata can do on good rubber. I would get one but I don't want to have that conversation with my parents where I tell them I'm gay

They handle great in tight turns. I have a buddy with one and they are fun. If I was thinking about getting a Miata I would just build one of those subaru powered 818 factory five cars. Mid engine, 1800lbs, drool....
