I actually don't remember seeing those numbers but they do
sound about right. Individual cars vary so the new Miata
will be a better match for Toyota Poke'mon car.
I can just hear the yellow one yelling PikaChuuu as it
whips around the corners. LOL
B-stock is going to get real challenging next year even
more than this year.

I can't see how the MR2 willl benefit from a max lower RPM's.
more torque certainly but not a lower redline.

It will be something to see out on course but I do believe that
the Miata has a better suspension than the MR-S.
So far I haven't seen an MR-Spyder even on the street but
next year I imagine they will be out on course.
I like the MR Spyder but it really could use a trunk.

Nah, I think the Miata has a better style to it but on
course until proven otherwise the Miata still has a proven
track record.
