i'm with blake on miata > GTI

the gti may have more power but you can always get more power, weight is a little harder to rid of, and a miata starts out with a 700lb lead, the miata will also out corner a GTI, hell i'm still in shock how fast a stock miata with r compounds can be

what kind of race is this? if you're racing on a 1/4 mile track, then the GTI is going to walk on the Miata. but the Miata will probably be better in the tight corners
