Guess I'm just too dumb for this argument in which we apparently agree that both are statements are guesses.

Like i said here

"Brilliant, compare the BRZ luxury option to the Miata performance edition. That just might work."

At least you figured a way to get the prices to match up.

The brz ts as I said before is 37k. I have no problem comparing them but always the price is a consideration. That's getting into 370z, sti, mustang gt, evo x territory.

I have no problem comparing the twins to a base miata.

If it turns out that on some way of measurement, the twins are faster than a base and slower than a club, I would happily say "the twins are faster than a base miata sport and slower thatn a miata club"

Wow.

"86 will never lose to a damn Miata"
"getting beat by a Miata never sits right with me"
"86 vs Miata is like 370Z vs 86"

You guys have some chips on your shoulders. These cars are on the same team! Miatas and 86es are slow, lightweight, handling-centric cars. One is a 2-seater roadster and the other is a 2+2 coupe -- that's always going to be the biggest difference between them. Their relative performance will be extremely close, to the point where it doesn't matter.

my slow car is less slow than your slow car and thats all that matters...unless my slow car is more slow than your fast car in which case it doesnt matter because my slow car is lighter than your fast car.

Well I like it. I'm anxious to drive, roadster's done properly are truly something else.

And that thread is derailed.

Then why didn't you speak up after one thread? @DAEMANO Since you're the thread police you might as well go into general discussion and start stopping every thread that comes in, as they are all repeated threads.

Why don't you contribute to something instead of being a douche bag.

Why don't you search and contribute to an already made thread instead of calling people names and starting a thread that no one really cares to contribute to because it's ALREADY BEEN MADE. And he did contribute, he searched FOR YOU, and gave YOU links to the same topic to HELP YOU because YOU were too lazy to SEARCH.
