[@Trex6767]

I traded a wrx for a 370z. Surprisingly I disliked the 370z. I was too tall for the car and the blind spot was so big I almost got hit by an Escalade, I even turned my head and anything. Cool car just not for me. So fast forward 5 years. Got another wrx, 2000 tundra, and a 5 speed forester xt. I’m content with my fleet

Anyways, he tracked his Z06 a few times, and a couple years later he suddenly showed up in a Spec-Miata and forever abandoned the burly-car life for the on-rails, momentum-based Miata scene. He races all the time. Excellent episode, Mr. Regular 👏

[@BB-tc6gz]

I'm 6'5" and once at an auto show in Atlanta circa 2010 I sat in an NC with the top down and was surprised how well I fit actually. Then I pressed the button for the retractable hardtop and it wanged the back of my head. Mazda rep comes over frantically and says, "Yeah the cut off for these is below 6'." A soul crushing moment for sure. Also tried to get in the driver's seat of a friends early NA and that just wasn't physically possible to begin with.

[@Trenchbroom]

I am a 6'7" American male who wanted nothing more than a Triumph or MGB as a kid in the 70s. Sunroof down, curvy road ready to carve up. By the time I was old enough to own such a vehicle, my dreams died the first time I tried to shoehorn myself into one. Sadly I have the body built for a fat pig F250 or a fake muscle Mustang, but no desire whatsoever for such macho nonsense. I love Mazdas (driven them almost exclusively for 30 years now) which only enhances my sadness at never being able to enjoy a Miata. Yet like the centerfolds plastered on my teenage wall back when the Miata was first introduced in '89, knowing it can never be mine only enhances the allure.

[@BB-tc6gz]

@@Trenchbroom Yeah it's truly not fair in regards to those British roadsters and especially the Miata, being an actually daily driveable car. Though I did own two very small cars that through excellent space efficiency and a total lack of safety tech were very roomy for me. A '76 Datsun 280z and a '90 Civic Sedan. The first gen Z car especially is way more comfy than it has a right to be. Though I am lanky with a pretty small frame for my height, which likely played a big role because they are still kinda narrow. But leg room is seriously up there with a Town Car/Marquis.

I've owned my Mazdaspeed Miata for nearly 12 years and it was my daily for nearly 10. I adore that car, and now that I drive it much less often, every trip feels that much more special. Also, adding the Flyin' Miata intake and downpipe really wakes it up. You get boost much sooner and the car pulls harder all the way to redline. It goes from just being quicker than a normal one to being legitimately fast.

A few years ago I saw one at a local dealership and asked to test drive it (with cash in hand ready to buy it ~$10k). The seller turned me down saying it was rare and probably thought I was too young. A couple of days later I paid $18k cash for an S2000 (different dealership). No regrets.

Sent you a message about 6 months ago asking if youd be interested in reviewing my 05 MSM that looks almost exactly like that except much cleaner (only 50k miles). Glad to see this finally reviewed and given its due.

The thing I love about driving early gen Miatas is that you can enjoy the car fully and hardly break the speed limit.

I think it's kind of an unfair stereotype that "muscle car guys" only like muscle cars. I was raised in a Camaro family, but I appreciate any car that is front engine, rear wheel drive. That's all that really matters.

Great video! Happy Memorial Day! You did my car! Only about 400 made in the black mica. This is the miata that can shut s2000 owners up... but not in completely factory spec. That 178hp is at the crank. Its more like 155whp. Still even with the factory turbo, a little intake/exhaust moding and ecu tuning and you’ve got yourself a ~200hp car that actually makes more torque than hp. Such a great car. These will only go up in value.

"I had a six speed before any one else" corvettes with a 7 speed in the 80s "am i a joke to you?"

[@Bartonovich52]

They did not really have a 7 speed. They had a four speed with a planetary overdrive. My Volvo 240 had one.. but you could only engage it in 4th gear instead of 2, 3, and 4 like the Vette. You’d never shift it sequentially. All it was for is to give the enthusiasts what they wanted in terms of performance and the EPA what they wanted in terms of fuel efficiency.. until the 6 speed and CAGS aka “skip shift”.

[@joshbacon8241]

5:20 - Speaking of the gearing issue, I’m willing to bet that a Mk2 MX-5 with the 6-speed manual would still be doing the same RPM at 70mph in 6th gear as a Mk1 with the 5-speed would be in 5th gear.

[@NotDaender]

They're pretty close, IIRC, by about 200 or 300 rpm.

[@textmyplug2908]

Huh you’ve done this before haven’t you ?

[@zoomzabba452]

The gearing was designed for Japanese roads or, more poignantly, not American highway speeds. I have to explain this to everyone about older subaru.

[@stephen3164]

I had an NB2 LS 6-speed w/ 4.3 swap. On the highway, it would do all the rpm. Me: “What rpm are we at?” NB2: “Yes.” Seriously, cruising at 5000 rpm for hours is just frustrating. Literally the only car I’ve owned that makes me drive under the speed limit on the highway. Ironically, I drive those same speeds on twisty back roads too! Hahaha

[@daywalker4029]

a popular rear end swap is a 3.6 ring gear model from Australia. helps drop the rpm's a few hundred on the highway

Those bro cars you mentioned are great fun in certain moments; a burnout here and there, a dragstrip, or a track day perhaps, places where all that power can be put to use. But a Miata is fun at all times. The 86 twins are the closest thing to it, other than the Fiat 124 Spider of course. But the 86 twins don't come in a drop top which is a big part of the fun IMHO.
