Have you ever driven a Miata? How does it compare to a 370Z? Ok, everyone knows Miatas are perfectly balanced and you can whip one around like a conjoined twin.

How does the Z FEEL? Is there the same connection as with a Miata where it is an extension of your being? I need to dance with her.

I think the FRS/BRZ is your car then.
The 370Z isn't as balanced, but the speed makes up for it. All that being said, never driven a Miata, I'd consider tracking one, but I'd NEVER own one, and yes, I do think they're ![]() Contact owner "MX52Z" or something

I love Miatas as well but I'm big in one and I prefer the Z for it's power. Going up hill the Miata suffers.
I had one tailgating me even though a car blocked my way ahead. When the slow car pulled over going up hill, I nearly stopped forcing the Miata to nearly stop as well, then I took off up hill with all that HP. I never saw the Miata again. Lot's of Miatas at a race track for a reason.

I drove a miata a few times, while it was fun just tossing it anywhere i wanted it had ZERO power. Honestly I could yank the wheel as hard as I can and gas it and the rear never kicked out.
Oh and don't even think about impressing anyone with the acceleration. Will take about 1/8 mile to get to 60. |

S2000 was a flash in the pan-no longer made. When I drove one it felt right tho but did not like the S2000 looks. Nice to have somethng with a race history in modern recreation.
