>Should I get a Miata or something with a V8
Why not both?
>>16342259
because I dont want to daily a v8 roadster
I own an ND. Reason i got it where simple
>lightweight
>godly chassis
>great handling
>good looking
>0-60 5.9 seconds
>convertible

do you daily it how is it?
>>16342292
Yes i daily drive it. Its very comfy as long as your not above 6 ft tall. The springs arent too hard on it so the ride is good for street driving. Also its a ton of fun to drive, you can really slam around in the streets and keep good control

>0-60 5.9 seconds

5.9 is a respectable number for a roadster. Their all about handling, and driving experience. Its not supposed to be a heavy powerful muscle car.

I have nothing against the nd, it's just that 5.9 sec 0-60 isn't exactly a selling point.
>>16342335
If a 7 sec 0-60 was good enough for the E type, a 6 sec 0-60 is good enough for a Miata.
>>16342335
Depends the kind of car where talking about here. On a very heavy muscle car where you needs tons of power then yes your right.
But on a small lightweight car the 5.9 is sufficient and felt much more

Again, there is nothing wrong with having a 7 sec 0-60, but compared to other cars in it's price range it is not exactly impresive. So yes, a 7 second 0-60 is suffecent for a roadster, but that shouldn't be a reason why you should buy it.

>0-60 mph in 5.9s
>0-100 kph in 7.3s
Wut

The toyobarus are in a similr range as well as other hot hatches. Unless your referring to muscle cars again, which means your missing the point about what Miatas and lightweight cars are all about
>>16342227
If you only care about driving the MX-5 is best value in the world for that.

Again, I know that 0-60 times are not the point of miatas, that was my arguement. You buy a maita because it i light, nimble, and fun to drive. He listed a 6.9 second 0-60 as one of the reasons that he bought it, so I attempted to dispute that a 7 sec 0-60 time is not a reason you should buy a miata.

Never put 6.9 down as its number
Reread the earlier posts, its rated at 5.9
Also the reason I put the number down was to show that it had some decent pickup for a roadster car.
But you then went on to try and compare it to completely different cars.

Gearing for specs.
