You're right, I guess on a car which I own and have performed the modifications discussed (tires, stock to ZIISS in OEM size) and use published tests to back up my claims.

I do not know the amount of advantage the bilsteins and LSD give the Club over the Base MX-5, it will be interesting when it comes out but imo it's not terribly relevant. In your opinion it is.

Hmm maybe that's the trick, you keep spouting that "the comparison is unfair" as if it's indisputable. Like the person who is looking to take a new sports car to the track won't save up $3k for the LSD option if the Miata is their desired car and will feel betrayed when it doesn't live up to the magazine test.
