[QUOTE="bimmerman, post: 117382, member: 126"] Thanks for sharing my good Doctor. Water in your face when a truck passes you? Even with the hard top on? If water gets in so easily, noise would definately get in as well. But I think I'm prepared for that. Still better than a motorcycle right? So, to recap: 1. Unstable after 160Kph. Should be ok I think. Not reall a speed freak. More of a low speed, sideways driver. But I suppose the high speed issue can be solved by lowering slightly and a good areodynamics kit right? 2. Mechanically reliable. This I really love! Should be cheaper to maintain than my Bimmer 5. 3. Softtop rear window yellows out. Well, I plan to get a hardtop anyway. 4. Tail out attitude. Yeah! This is where I get my kicks. Was reluctant to change tires on my Bimmer just for the powerslides! But bad tires are dangerous so I gave in. Using relative skinny and fat sidewalled 195/50/16 tires on the Miata might just do the trick for tail out handling. I'll be looking at a black Miata today that's been in cold storage for 3 years. Any pointers as to what to look out for? :D [/QUOTE]
