| horsepower.  The way the car feels as you shift up through the gears.  The way it responds to a small turn of the wheel.  The way it handles mountain roads... on and on... Why do you think the Miata is such a popular car?  It is grossly underpowered in stock form, yet is a JOY to drive. The NA Z is a fantastic sports car.  True, if you are looking to blow the wheels (and/or doors) off the "big boys" out there on the road (Corvette, Porsche, Viper, etc.) then you aren't in the right car.  But, if you want a quick car that looks great and is very responsive... you've got in in your Z! I love mine!  I just don't get into street races with cars I know will burn me.  Enjoy The Ride...  your NA is a part of a proud tradition... that guy doesn't know what he's talking about when he disrespects your car.
