Going off the Mazda website (and a blind guess), I now realize that a 2500 lb 2002 Miata 6 spd is gonna have one VERY skinny driver :^) According to Mazda, here are the weights in lbs : 2387 (5 Spd)

It does come with a lot of other options, few of which you'd want for an autocross car. The 6-speed is, AFAIK, only available with the LS package. Besides, I'm not totally convinced the 6-speed is an

These are never accurate. Yep the 6 speed weighs more. Not always. The 99 M2 is marginally lighter than the 94-97 M1. Mazda does have more luxo-crap options than they used to, that can add weight. Cr

Yes but if you multiply 265 by the M Stock PAX of .622 you get 165ft-lbs, which is much more like it. Peter that's got to be a typo: 200hp--ok _265_ pound feet???????? at 6,000rpms??? out of 1.9 lite

I think that is a typo. If it were making that much torque, it would produce a helluva lot more than 200hp. And it is normally aspirated, but it'll never come here. Scot '91 CS Miata -- We make attor

Correct. There is a mistake in the specs. If the engine makes 265 ft. lb. at 6,000, then that is 302 hp at 6,000. And if the engine makes 200 hp. at 7,000, then that is 150 ft. lb. at 7,000. So the p

However, you're geared very similar to the guys with the 6-speeds. The 5-speed on the '01 has a very tall second gear - redline is 60 mph, so if I don't downshift for a tight corner, I come out of i
