One remark for everyone. The battle attack was for NA cars. Older ones and newer ones. We had three 86/BRZ's and no Miatas! Even the tires used were originated from the 86/BR Gazoo races. So, where are the Miatas?

Japan only gets the 1.5L engine in the ND. The smallest and lowest HP engine in the comparison was the 1.8L 2zz in the MR-S. The Japanese do not seem to be big on engine swaps for the Miata. Most the time they just go FI which would not qualify for this group.
