That's why it's a pony and not a horse. It has pony power.

Awesome choice. I had an NA Miata for a little while and it was an awesome little car. Perfect compliment to the Beast IMO. I honestly still miss it a lot.

Nice pickup Toad- If driving in your area is anything like Atlanta, just drive defensively and stay safe !! Enjoy.

one car at a time
Miatas can be very fast at the track (road course).....Put a Kraftwerks kit on it and have Oscar Jackson give you some suspension advice and that thing will fly.

thanks guys - this things is GUTLESS in comparison to the 55 - but it has the perf. suspension package Torsen diff, strut tower, sway bars etc...

the wife is open to anything to add power (but has to be CARB compliant!) grr...

Very familiar with and love the miata. I would suggest a roll bar as your first mod.

Congrats on the pick up.
