Message	: I know lighter cars always feel like they're handling better, but what are the numbers for the Miata, and how do they compare to the Z? : And numbers aside, what does the Miata feel like when you're in it? I've never been in one. I like them because they're small. The newer ones are getting bigger and more bloated looking, I like the styling of your model the best. : Thanks. some stats for the 1.8L Miata For those who say, 'well it's slow blah blah blah', click here. I can pull up articles of Miatas running 10s if you really want to stretch it out :) some Z stats. If you search the net, you'll find variances in all the numbers. Modified Miatas pull 1.08-1.11g on the skidpad and 73-74mph through the slalom. The car fits me perfect; seats are more supportive and comfortable, shifter is smooth and precise. Point the car and it goes where you want to. The Z isn't that bad but it weighs 1000 lbs more. Later, Phuong rice is a smart man/grain. you should listen to him. - infinite loop 00:04:14 09/06/01
