Looks great, but can you still fit a LS1 in there?

LOL! Right...and in an S2K.

If they could put my GTI engine (255hp/289tq w/ APR tune, no other mods), this would be the perfect car.

Been there, done that. Z35 or 4C for me

Hmmm. The Miata always catches a beating from the ugly stick IMO.

kenchan · 02-23-2015, 09:40 AM

it would never replace my Z but ive never had a vert so that would be a fun car to try it..maybe. not sure.

Firebase99 · 03-20-2015, 04:42 PM

They released the specs...."sigh". I know its THE most tracked car in the country, not taking anything away from that but for a DD, close to $30K with 155HP and 148TQ....ugh.

imaging having 155 horses in your garage... that's a lot of horses.

You have at least 332, big frickin' garage man.

Not really interested. I would pick up a used one to make a turbo track/autocross rat out of in a heartbeat but IMO it's a huge step down from the Z as far as a weekend car.

They are really great, fun little cars. I had one as a second car until recently (sold off) -- jinba ittai

The latest iteration is apparently even lighter and more peppy (Hammond was driving one with glee on Top Gear) -- expect a few folks to throw a "flyin' miata" blower on it and turn the car into a screamer.

Rear tails are ugly to my eye, but otherwise, I like the new design.

Still, not my preference for a next car -- it will be either a Z35 or a 4c.
