187 hp? I think you guys meant 167. Also, the club edition isn't about the aesthetics, but the additional of the Bilstein shocks, new diff, and additional bracing.

yes the blizzak snow tires are the sole reason for their 1/4 mile time in this MX5, they are great for ice and snow not so great on dry paved roads for handling and accleration 8 months of the year i have them on my turbo miata

I had more vandalism with my ‘99 soft top. I put 5 tops in 10 years on that car. My current Miata is a 2013 NC GT PRHT. I’ve never had a single issue. I’m confused by your previous comment. Am I just reading it wrong or something?

MR2 and S2000 imitator? Maybe you should learn some history BEFORE writing your script. This is in no way an attempt to steal the spotlight from the MX5, as I like the car just fine. Though to say that the MR2 and furthermore the S2000 are imitators is a wildly false statement, as both cars are predecessor of earlier models. While the MR2's second round may have not met expectations, the S2000 well exceeded expectations, as the model ran eight years longer than intended.

Well said, I very much agree with the rundown of each generation. A lot of people hate/joke on the NC but have clearly never driven one...it's fantastic. (I've driven every Miata, and love them all, but the NC is the most well rounded of all of them imo)
