Dis-agree with that statement entirely.

Why buy the club miata when you're just going to change everything on it anyway?

There is still a market for the base miata for those enthusiasts who like to modify. And drive at 10/10 and are looking for that extra 10th or 100th by having a mechnical diff, or penske suspension, larger/wider wheels.

For the guys are in the market for a weekend toy and don't want to modify there is the miata in base or club trim.

My point is, 1.5 seconds on that track perhaps is not enough to justify the extra ~$100 a month in financing. (Speaking of a base twin vs. a club ND)
