Ouch, that's kind of what I was afraid of. I figured that guy would have fallen into a run at some point. With a more capable driver I could have seen myself losing by 1-1.5 seconds on that course, which is kind of scary.
You hit 60 on that course in an STX car? I don't think I even hit anything over 51-52 at most? No way was the ND ever close to his limiter, let alone me hitting mine.
Speaking of the ND, here's a quick spec sheet compared to the new Fiat 124 (same chassis)
Miata ND
2.0L NA

148 TQ
2333lbs
exploding trans
Fiat 124
1.4L T
160 HP
181 TQ
2477lbs
non-exploding trans
Same(ish) gearing, same mechanical LSD, and same wheel.
