They even went as far as to equip the car with a low grip tire just to prove their efforts in chassis and suspension R&D is brilliant.

I'm just not impressed until the press reviews a base model Miata against the competition, and I could care less about track times.
car reviews are never given base models. even if they were trying to spin something, the miata isnt ever about being a game changer. its just trying to do what brittish roadsters did but without breaking. saying that toyota equipped the frs with "low grip" tires to prove the efforts in suspension rnd is absurd. i hope you know that.
