Miata vs 370Z

Spstone · 04-27-2016, 03:03 PM

I'm not going to lie car owner stereo types tend to be pretty accurate and has deterred a couple of purchases for not wanting to be lumped into that group of individuals.

I felt the need to mod my mx5 so it didn't feel so "hairdresser" but, I came from a place where I appreciated English small light and quick cars. My first car at 15 was a 1968 triumph gt6 mk3. Such a fun go cart.. But wicked unreliable. The mx5 gives you that same driving experience without the reliability problems.. Yes it looks girly and jelly bean but it's hella fun to drive.. It had all the right mods including a supercharger.. It was the ultimate sleeper. Pulling away from a light and seeing a confused and embarrassed mustang driver in my rear view was priceless..

i guess one issue i have with some low esteem miata drivers are they think they are being looked down on and drive around like arseholes around faster cars like the Z and my STI.

its like i dont care if ur little car is fast or slow vs my cars or looks like a pos (older gen). u enjoy ur car da way u want to and LEAVE ME OUT OF IT.

i think the current mx5 looks pretty cool. it's definitely a fun looking car.

I actually considered getting a new MX5 or a BRZ. But when you are built like a division II fullback, those exceptionally engineered vehicles just don't fit.

but yah, those cars are kinda built for the smaller crowd for sure.

low self esteem is associated with the person, not the cars he/she owns. I am sure some Z owners have similar issues.

Yah, I would NEVER shift while mid turn near the limits. Very dangerous. Better just bounce off the limiter.

The best is when you downshift from 3rd to 2nd at the apex of a turn at your car's limits and lose control
