Personally, I would love to have a p/w in the 12lb range, but 13.5 would be fairly acceptable.... For the right price.

Pretty sure a Miata can hand a V6 accord it's ass around a circuit or down a mountain road. I'm betting you also won't see many family sedans at the strip. You shouldn't be draggin stop light to stop light, moron.

You don't
get this car. You are not like us.

My current sports car is not slower in a straight line than V6 family sedans, nor even than lightly modded previous-gen Mustang GTs. So why am I interested in this car?

I wouldn't say it's a totally new breed of sports car. It's more so a breed that hasn't been around in a very long time.
