None of them were in my class, and it was my first ever autocross so I beat out a 2011 STI and lost to 2 C5 Corvettes. I ran a 64.5, the STI was at 66.xx and the closest C5 was at 64.3. So not awful but I've got a lot to learn. Also my tires are junk, who has ever even seen Fuzion UHP's installed on a Z, whoever owned my car before me clearly said "what are the absolute cheapest tires I can buy? get me those". :/

lol GJ despite shitty tires. actually fuzion tires are by bridgestone and for lower power cars they actually do pretty well.

There's a 2016 Miata parked where I live, must have a body kit on it so the rear appears more like a Lambo than having that Miata pucker-up-this-is-gonna-hurt look to it. It's impressive due to its really pretty color. Never met the owner, but I bet she loves her car.

The Z has that feel of being a "she" that's torquey, and the rear of a woman in jeans that fit way too well--I just look at it and wanna apply wax...LOL

Saw a Porche the other day, kind of like a 911, don't know for sure, silver, the front and rear seemed way, way low, like a skinny chick that needed to eat. It just seems they're faking it, putting on airs.

Even in that attached image, both seem uninspiring.

She's got the right thickness in the right places.

Did it have this kind of kit?

I think the Cayman body looks better than the 911 body. 911 has a lot of overhang on the ends. I like wheels pushed to the corners of the body.

the new cayman does look much better than the old ones, but the 911 is always considered to be the true porsche. i think the cayman is also a more balance car and better value comparing to the 911 (991).

I had a NB and two NC while I was between Zs, a 280 and now 370. Autocrossed them all they are a fun car to drive and race. The Z and MX5 is not a valid comparison. The MX5 light and a little under powered where the Z is much burlier, faster car. Going to start solo crossing again and see how they compare there.
