<-- drives a miata



You're like a miata with an engine that actually makes power N/A, we pretty much have to boost to get anywhere past 150whp.
AH man direct comparison to a Miata....

For some reason, similar model miatas are more expensive than S2000. Any idea?

The later year Miatas weren't that much cheaper than the S2000 ($25k vs $33k new). That difference is pretty much still there.

If the Miata is more expensive it's because it has a hardtop, aftermarket suspension/wheels, etc. Or the owner is just delusional.

The BP is a notoriously reliable engine, and the miata is a notoriously reliable car. Think of how many other early 90's cars you still see driving around... The car was built for boost, and granted it isn't the fastest car around but with some aftermarket love they can dominate most tight courses and take FTD in AutoX nearly without equal.

something i built here at work, the header back is 2.5 AL with a muffler V-banded on. I cut the original tip off and welded on the little turn down with the FR tag. I will get some better pics for the exhaust for you.

well does that mean Miata is greater than S2000?

I understand and I agree that Miata is an awesome car but my point came from comparing miata vs s2000 and i thought s2000 is possiblely better car.

Look at the Redline time attack, S2000s rock! haha
