And of course the newer BRZ has even shorter final drive ratio

The point of my post was more that the video shows the 1.5L miata, but the 2.0L US spec miata is clearly a better performer than the 86.

Yep at 3k rpm, the 86 has a lot of work to do. I was watching once a racing driver which had the same issue and then he started down-shifting on 1st gear. However, his car was a limited edition 14R60 which had a longer 1st gear. |
