It's almost impossible to tell what contributes to the overall lap times and what amount even after doing before and after tests because there's a lateral relationship on the data, let's say you shave 10 lbs from rotational mass which is HUGE for a car that weighs only 2300 lbs and more importantly has only 155hp , we still wouldn't be able to tell if we improved our times due to real advantage of the mod or the driver confidence , because one affects the other..unless of course you're a hot shoe like Randy Pobst
I would advise potential buyers to spend more time on searching and reading about the Miata because it may not be ideal for everyone, grass is always greener on the other side..
That being said I can even consider getting one for myself but that decision won't be based on a magazine article or internet hypes or ECHO ,
Imo Miata is a great second car , especially for those who are not planing to mod their cars and like Lago mentioned in his previous article ( see I'm not that far behind the magazine articles lol) , " one is a drivers tool other is a driver toy"
