My Miata story is an MX5 story because that is what they are called over 
here. 

While driving with the roof down with a front wing (fender) strapped into the 
passenger seat and footwell I overtook a Miata/MX5 on a stretch of dual 
carriageway.

I can't remember if I was doing much over or under a 100mph (not easy with 
the roof down because of the increased drag).  But after some serious late 
braking coming into a roundabout he was left for dead with my exhaust note 
ringing in his/her ears.

My other Miata/MX5 story is about some clown who put their foot down so hard 
through a turn (in a 30mph area) they got into a serious power slide that 
almost wiped them out.  Possibly this car was not standard - a local company 
does a turbo conversion.

In case anyone thinks this is exaggerated I can only say that I did 'lose' to 
the Lotus Elise that I got into a minor 'race' with and even if I hadn't 
missed my 1st to 2nd shift when I caught up with him under braking there was 
no way I was ever going to get past but think I could have kept up.
