He just hates the Miata. It's not for everyone, but LOL @ him.After nearly three decades it's only gained 114 lbs, running mid 14's and terrorizing the C-Street autox class. Really wish mazda would of offered a true handling package option (e.g. Flyin' Miata Flyin' Miata Koni Stage 2.5 suspension package (NA8 chassis) ), and maybe a V6.
Then again, chris harris was spot-on with his mx-5 critique...
I don't think he's hating on the miata, just clarifying that the stock ones don't make good sports cars, just great roadsters.
I fit perfect in an NA @6'2 Have not driven one yet though i'm actually pretty excited for my full spec build to be completeThey're viewed as God's gift to the world though, every Miata owner I've spoken to (for the most part) has a complex and believes that owning "baby's first sports car" puts them above and beyond everything else on the road just because they're faster around a small parking lot than most others.
I sat in a ND at the new york auto show. I remember multiple people telling me "oh yeah, a friend of a friend of a friend is 9 ft 10 and he daily drives a NA miata!" so I figured I would be able to cram myself in at my manlet height of a mere 6ft 5. Nope! Knees were jammed into the dashboard, I could probably drive one of these uncomfortably for 15 minutes then call it quits.
Tell that to all the stock Miatas kicking ass on the road course. We all know they are slow as shit in a straight line. They were not built for the drag strip.I don't think he's hating on the miata, just clarifying that the stock ones don't make good sports cars, just great roadsters.
Stop talking to the 16 yr old kids then. I'm on my 3rd NA Miata, but not THAT long ago I too thought they were gay & no fun etc. I actually bought my 1st Miata without ever driving one before that. As they say, the rest is history.They're viewed as God's gift to the world though, every Miata owner I've spoken to (for the most part) has a complex and believes that owning "baby's first sports car" puts them above and beyond everything else on the road just because they're faster around a small parking lot than most others.
