Will the 370z be another Miata?

No. Even to have a chance it would have to have triple it's sales figures and then you'd still need to wait about 10 to 15 more years. Second it's not cheap to run and not easy to work on. Fuel, tires, brakes all last much longer and cost much less. Low weight, low initial cost, high volume made the Miata and cars like it very popular at the track.

This is a fantastic point I agree the Z is not as cheap as the Miata and it's also not as easy to work on but I would also argue that it is not as hard to work on with some basic set of tools. But I also said it would be a class above the Miata so naturally, the extra performance will come at a greater cost but IMO still affordable compared to other cars with similar performance. Also, I haven't looked at the sales figures for the 370z but I'm sure that Miata is more mass-produced, but I would add the amount of G37's made since most of those parts are interchangeable with the Z. I guess the whole point of my original post is that the Z can be a good track car in the future that becomes an option in a class above the Miata, not Miata cheap but still a great track car with good driving dynamics and a lot of parts behind it that are available when something breaks and something that maybe high in consumables but something that is a really good driving car that doesn't break the bank for a track car.
