whew, just get the Miata or better yet a Mustang o.O I can't imagine there's anyone out there who has complained this much about the torque dip and power in NA 4 bangers before buying the car and end up being satisfied. I've driven a NC & ND (old engine) and besides the more visceral sensation with the roof down, never once did it feel more powerful than the twins. I'm sure the updated engine makes it better but it is still driving an "underpowered" NA 4 banger. Too many folks do not get the proper test drives of these cars and they end up shifting way too early or they never downshift..
