TBH, I still wouldn't be interested. Not being a Fanboy, but I bought the BRZ over the Miata for practicality reasons. I see the BRZ as a Miata for people who want to daily it and/or use it year-round as an only vehicle.

I would be much more inclined to buy a Miata if this was a weekend/summer toy.

My favorite Miata is still the 04-05 Mazdaspeed; only had 170 bhp but was still a blast to drive.

Heaviest miata they made. Better off with almost any other miata imo.

They definitely could with their newer, higher-compression motors.

Yet has the best power-to-weight ratio out of all of them.

A factory Miata with 300HP would be something special. A factor Miata with 181 is whatever. It doesn't fundamentally change what a Miata is, just like another 50 HP doesn't fundamentally change the twins. 350HP in a twin might be another story.
