Miata vs 370Z

Firebase99 · 04-11-2016, 07:23 PM

Lightweight, eager engine, smooth tranny with a fun to drive factor. Though all things being equal it's a 86 competitor, not in the same league as a 370. IMO way too much money too. I've driven a few and for $30 large, no way it'd be my DD.

I haven't seen a guy driving a Miata yet or one of those VW bugs

Mock it all you want, it's THE most tracked vehicle in the Northern Hemisphere. It's just quick enough to get you into trouble but so forgivable to get a novice to intermediate. Plus, it's cheap to maintain. But yea, I'd never DD one as is. Lol

They're a lot of fun to drive, almost like a go-kart. I rented one for a month and loved it. Really, really tiny car though, and I missed the torque of my Z.

My last fun car was an mx5. Motor swap with supercharger.. quicker, better shifting, better in tight corners. More of a go cart than the z. But I like:the z better as a whole package.
