Remember, Miata is always the answer ….

Funny fact: The stock ND2 miata is faster 0-60 than a stock S2000 while also "feeling" faster due to less weight and lower center of gravity. So if anyone says the ND2 is slow, its just "herd mentality" at this point and its cool to say miata's are slow. Bonus fact: you cant say that the higher redline makes a grand difference when, back then, it was believed that higher RPM was necessary to stretch your gearing out further and to maximise power, and in turn, speed... but now a greater understanding in peak engine efficiency, power-to-weight ratios and proper gearing allows cars with lower max RPMs to accelerate faster by stretching your power along a wider rpm range allowing for more power across a wider range of RPMs(such as EXACTLY where your RPMs are going to be between each shift) rather than only ever getting into your peak power for a short time between shifts. Which is what the S2k suffered from in the AP1 and was somewhat fixed in the AP2. But 9k rpms in the now-inferior AP1 does have coolness factor that even I myself still want 😂 But I'd still take the ND2 without a second thought. Lighter, stiffer chassis, faster, kinmatic posture control, more road feedback, and a greater torque-to-weight ratio, cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, cheap and abundant mods. Its a landslide win for the ND2.

Exactly. I have driven many cars and for fun the smartest choice is the Miata. Also, it's the car I would want to drive on the streets when it's not winter if I wanted to avoid a road hazard with a quick evasion maneuver or braking.

I want one of these so bad. Dope little convertible

Miata is stylish, i love em

Go-carts are slow too, but still fun as hell!

I’ve had my ND2 for about three months. It’s not the speed. It’s how it handles in the turns. It’s so fun to drive.

@@tanakax25 Go ahead and skip the big brakes. They look cool, but every Miata since the NC has had big enough brakes to work well even with a V8 swap. Small is light. Just get appropriate pads and fluid the the type of driving you plan to do. Suspension is good, though. Spend as much as you can afford on the dampers. Cheap coilovers can get you pretty good performance on the track, but kill you on the street. Getting the balance of ride and handling is where the money is.

Only bad thing about these cars is if you are over 6 foot, you probably aren't driving one on a track with a helmet on because you'll be too tall (depending on torso length). This is why for a track build, probably a modded BRZ is a better platform - stiffer, its got a roof, taller, you can add bhp but physically making a car larger is hard to do. There's things you can do to make yourself fit... but yeah, a bigger car is a bigger car. For road use? Mx-5 is always the answer. And top down motoring is more fun.

It's okay. The best engine for boost is the one from the late NB Miatas. That had the iron block and over-built internals of the old engine, in it's biggest strongest form, with the best heads. The later NC and ND engines will easily produce big horsepower, but the stock bottom-ends aren't as strong. The NC engine is starting to get a good aftermarket for building one up, but it's still pretty early days for these Skyactiv engines in the ND. Plus the ridiculously high compression is a limitation on the Skyactiv.

@hojnikb

Ай бұрын

no it doesn't. It's high compression, along with limited fuel delivery, means you'd need to build a motor and fuel delivery even before you hit 300HP. And by that point, tranny will blow itself to pieces because its made of glass. Just get a more tunable car as a base, if you want that.

Fast cars aren't fun on normal roads because you cant even get to high rpms without hitting somebody or getting scared for your life 😂
