I might have on occasion, but the car didn't :chuckles:
In all honesty, without proselytizing, get behind the wheel on the right road and flog the living shit out of one. While a stock Miata may not provide the visceral, spleen-squishing, sternum-deflating acceleration of, say a stock Mustang Cobra it remains a fantastically balanced car. It rewards on many more subjective levels, and is infinitely more refined than the geriatric live-axle Mustang.
Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of preference. Given the cars I've been priviledged enough to experienct over the years, I personally find the NB-chassis MX-5 to be one of the finest stock convertibles ever.

Rave over. As you were. :chuckles:
well lets face facts. 90% of the people on this board wouldn't know how to get 70% of the miatas performance out of it.
