You didn't get what he was saying. A miata is fast around corners because it isn't really all that fast to begin with. I guarantee if you put a much more powerful motor in it then it will have problems around corners unless the suspension gets modified. Most of the cars that get respect for handling other than exotics tend to have weak output motors in favor of handling.
