I have to say that I am impressed with the grip on this car. That sport suspension +
front sway is amazing.


Stock suspension needs a lot of work. Bet it’s fun when it’s dialed in.

Modern cars are too heavy. It’s hateful. This is the true beauty of the Miata. It’s the only mass produced car that stayed on message.

The m2 weighs north of 3500lbs. How can that be fun in heavy braking? Anyone trust bmw to use robust brakes? Not me.
