Here’s some notes from what he said, mostly verbatim. The ND2 is the better street car because: “Sense of whimsicalness, it’s fun to operate on the street, it makes you feel like you want to pound it around and have fun all the time with it. 86 looses some of that because it doesn’t have the open top experience. The engine doesn’t sound great and the fake engine noise is horrendous. It’s the next best street car though (compared to ND2, FRS, s2000). Power is accessible down low. You can reach limits on the street and still have fun. “ Me copying that here doesn’t mean I agree with it BTW. I’ve owned three Miatas (including a ND1 RF), but have never driven a 86. So I don’t really have an opinion either way. I like the option of an open top myself, but not everybody does, and that alone can really color ones preference.

No the gen 2 dip ends even earlier. Looks to be 3500-4200 RPM based on that dyno. The gen 1 dip was 3200-4600 RPM.

I'm not sure who coined the phrase, was it haggerty? The feeling you get from the takeaway is that this is a goldilocks car, cheap, high levels of performance all around now, with those same compromises that you can live with - just all better. |

Don't take Savagegeese too much seriously. He was saying for years that the old car didn't have a good engine. Is he saying now that the new one is not as fun on the street and is better on the track? Getting a much better lower end torque curve offers a bigger advantage the other way around (i.e. more fun on the street).
