It's far too simplistic to say whether a car's supension geometry is superior just based on whether it has struts or not. Wheel rate/motion ratio, chassis rigidity, rebound/compression tuning all make an impact. In short, we can't draw any conclusions of how this car compares to a Miata or an ITR.

Dial in enough camber up front and the downside of Mac struts are compensated for, it's not that big of a deal.
