I find this a little bit of an odd statement -- what about the whole experience of simply driving a car fast, and the thrill of being able to take straight lines and curves as fast as possible? Surely the better power curve and eventually better weight distribution will result in a more track ready car that's simply more fun to drive because it's just plain faster.

Of course, I can understand the complaint that such a machine, superior in performance as it may be, may lack character...

Faster doesn’t necessarily mean more fun. That’s the entire miata philosophy. It’s an underpowered slow fun car.

I'm trying to enjoy myself, not go to jail.
