I said NEW under 2,500 lbs, you have to admit that a 'new 2013' you can buy in 2015 is a fluke. Guess the 86 had a year of direct competition against the 1 RX-8 sold in 2012 
The FA20 is a great unit, but that's a different comparison. The new SkyActiv 2.0L in the Miata is pretty damn good too laying down that 5.9s 0-60 time while stoutly improving over the MZR in the NC in just about every area (stock) except peak hp and how high the redline is. |
here you go, there are also hundreds of new 2015 Miatas on autotrader

Again, this if for YOU to call the car track capable. Many people (whether wise or unwise) track Miata's with the factory rollover protection and will continue to do so, your opinion notwithstanding. Any set of tires and wheels is 'proper' as long as they are strong and safe, I did two track days on my Primacy's and will use the stock 86 wheels for another year or two or three, for all this talk about how the S001's are SOOO much better than the Primacy's I hope they can hold up as well as mine did. Hehehe "truck like body roll", again, your opinion that is "unacceptable" on track, thousands will happily track it with stock suspension with zero issues (and I'd certainly take it over most $1k 'coilovers' although we don't need to argue that point here), same thing with the LSD, it almost sounds like you think every HPDE should inspect cars for tiny minutiae before they let them out on track
"What? You're not on the pre-approved <300TW tires? You still have factory fluid in the transmission, and it's a BASE model! I'm sorry sir this just isn't safe, please leave before I find out you haven't changed the motor oil to a higher weight to handle the heat or that you don't have the sport seats."
Miata club model: MSRP ~$29.4k
Pads and fluid: ~$400

"again"
NOT TRUE 
I haven't seen any organization that allows without a proper roll bar or broomstick test, even if you could would you do that? it's your life and your money, but I wouldn't track any car without the bare minimums (suspension might be an exception) .. but "$32k Miata is not overpriced" is just an opinion not a fact
