| Well, that's my dilemma....Before the Z06 and the M3 I owned a Miata. I loved it because it was so much fun to drive at legal speeds, you could toss it into any turn, go into a "drift", keep it going around the turn sideways, recover and keep going...Try that at anything below 70 mph in a Vette or an M3....just hard to do, too much inherent stability/capability in those cars. Great for the track but not all that much fun at legal speeds. There is something about small, lightweight cars that are under 2500lb, they are so much fun to drive at legal speeds! I sold the Miata because at 6'2" and 205lb it was just a little tight....and "comical" looking. While all my friends have really enjoyed driving my Miata, they all mentioned that I look "out of place" driving a small car like that. One of my buddies fell in love with the Miata the first time he drove mine. He bought one a month later and went on to join 2 Miata clubs and 2 autoX point series. He won first place in both AutoX point series. He is now a die-hard Miata fan and AutoX champion while my Miata is long gone due to the fact that I felt "insecure" driving one. I know I would love the Mini Cooper S but I have to get over the "small car inferiority" complex.... |
