where upstate ny are you?

i had a 91 na miata that was stock for 2 ish years and then I supercharged it, header, exhaust, eibach prokit and strt struts, wheels and s. drives, and a roll bar. Nothing crazy.

Stock vs stock the 86 is immensely quicker. Less body roll. chassis feels far more rigid.

Modded vs stock 86 I feel they were very comparable in terms of acceleration and handling. the miata might have had an edge acceleration wise but the 86 doesn't feel lacking to me.

I havent autocrossed the 86 yet so I can't speak on that.

the 86 is WAY more versatile of a car though. i actually was very surprised as to how many groceries i could fit in tje car with the seats down. i can also lug around 2 of my dogs no problem.
