You can't lose either way between these two cars for the price

[@VirtualGuth]

Great enthusiasm on the part of the host, making for a funny, entertaining video. I personally prefer the earlier versions of both the Civic Si and the Mazda MX-5. There were fewer safety regulations for designers to contend with a couple of decades ago, so both of these cars looked better to my eye during that point time (give or take a number of years). The older cars also appeal more to me as I'm exactly not a fan of things like driving modes, traction control or infotainment screens. The cool thing for people that share my sentiments is that both Mazda and Honda have been building great vehicles for a long time now. If you can manage to find a clean, well-maintained example of either car from twenty years ago with reasonable mileage (it doesn't have to be low-mileage), they're still great cars today. (Make mine a manual transmission please.)

Third gear in the 10th Gen Civic SI REALLY pulls. I just traded my SI for a Forte GT DCT, because traffic and shifting no good together.

There’s no reason that the Miata shouldn’t be a car length ahead after the first gear. The Civic is more powerful for sure. I wonder how stock the car truly is. It has an exhaust, light weight wheels, lowered and other visual mods. I’m sure he’s running an intake and possibly a tune. Not stock at all.

[@epicraptorman]

Willing to bet that aftermarket exhaust the Si had certainly helped it. Adding an exhaust doesn't add much power nor does your "butt Dyno" feel much of a difference, however, I've raced cars with stock vs. catback exhausts and the results were there. 1/2-full+ car lengths typically on digs/rolls.

I’m a Honda guy but I was expecting the Miata to take that one. Then again when a FF manages to hook up off a dig they are pretty quick. 2nd run was close because the guy had WAY too much wheel spin. When drag racing a front wheel drive. You get a a base run with a low rpm launch. Better to bog than to spin. Next run increase rpms depending on how bad you boy until you get it just right. To where you land close to the power band without wheel spin.

Everyone talking down on the si like it doesnt have a standard mechanical lsd and turns like a 70s boat. Miata probably would feel more natural in a corner but not so sure it would be faster. Use to own an s2000 and it was fantastic in corners but let's be honest a modern v6 minivan would eat it in a straight line. I think the si would win in a lap test as well because boost and an lsd are hard to overcome depending on elevation, temps and a load of other variables.

I think Mazda has to step up their game with making their cars more powerful. especially their "sporty cars"

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

Mazda ND 2 doesn't need more hp, it's just a right set-up end very very fun car to drive, everything is not in the straight line speed, but overal handling and given emotions, pure adrenaline!

[@Elcasadekotse]

@@gurgenmakaryan4428 brought mine to the mountains many times, it lacks torque down low especially when going up the mountain in a hairpin curve.

[@gurgenmakaryan4428]

@@Elcasadekotse just keep engine peepy playing with gearbox, its so fun, the same i was doing with my civic si (2.0 l 200 hp but no torque) , so i have never had a probleme reving above 6000 and keeping me and car happy😉

[@Elcasadekotse]

@@gurgenmakaryan4428 Same here, had to keep rpm up, rarely have to change gear. A lil more torque would be fun tho. Planning to adjust compresion ration and bolting on some aftermarket turbo.

[@solarflare1008]

Mazda is a sports car and in no needs of fancy modes or whatever.

[@RayRiv73]

Can you do a Fiesta ST vs Civic SI next? Please!

[@origamiparadise1923]

Which is best mx5 or gt86?

[@adventurer4188]

What about a Jeep Cherokee 2.0T vs 3.2 or Cherokee 2.0T vs Bronco vs Alpha Romero vs Escape vs GMC Terrain , Subaru Forester XT? Compact 4x4 SUV tournament!

[@buildmorefarms1007]

In addition to the lighter wheels on the Civic and the custom exhaust, it is also lowered, reducing drag/wind resistance....3 advantages at least over the stock Miata.

[@6.4inAz]

The stock turbo is actually the bigger advantage than those three combined.

[@buildmorefarms1007]

@@6.4inAz It helps, but the driver never wins a race if you watch his videos. His reaction time and driving skills are terrible.

[@ryanbennett1532]

Biggest disadvantage is the insufferable rev hang and “not great” shifter on the Si. I’ve also got a 10th gen Si, and a auto cross-kitted NB. I HATE everything about the tranny on that Si; rev hang, dual mass flywheel and the shifter. Shifter feels nice and mechanical while rowing but always a bit plastic, and the clutch take up couldn’t be any more vague

[@RJ6AV6]

both cars are sick 👍
