S2000? I've actually heard the opposite about the '99 Sport.. (i.e. it's great). I know the Miata Sport is softer than the 94-97 R-pkg it replaced. I don't think the '99s had enough development time

No the '99 is *terrible*. Trust me, you _don't_ want one. Ok, so I'm lying in all situations. George Douganis keesps proving the '94 model is right in there despite having 12 less hp and higher geari

Similar to what I hear but has yet to be proven.. <g> A decent BS Miata guy moved from a '95R to a '99 Sport and prefers the '99.. Added power and chassis stiffness are his top raves.. Do you know w

I too have switched from a 95R (still in the garage though currently - for sale shortly - interested parties give an email!) to a '99. The '95 was easy to setup - just be a lemming and do what the o

I have a '96 R. It's a smidge faster accelerating than a friend's 94 C. When Alan got the '99, we did a few 2nd gear runs of about 20 Miles Per Hour to redline. When the '99 had only a few hundred mi

I suspect some of the gearing advantage diminishes when you start utting 99's on those tall 225/50/15's, as opposed to the 225/50/14's that are available - in fact, the G-force spec sheet shows the n

I'm looking for a daily commuter/autocrosser. But I am in a kickass mood so I thought I'd buy a good autocrosser for a change. ;-) Also, I just moved to Orlando so a convertible would be nice... Her

I'm not sure about advice, but I'm happy to offer rank The biggest question marks in BS right now are the 6 speed Miata and the upcoming Toyota MR-Spyder. The 6 speed is supposed to become available

Speaking of options, I would guess it would be advantageous to have the ABS but not the variable rate power steering??? How about the windscreen? Does it weigh a lot? Can it be easily removed? Paul F

Also, I don't know how big a difference the factory shock tower bar makes, but that's only on the Sport Package. The windblocker can easily be removed, but I think all LP-equipped cars come with it,

My guess is nil. The coilover shocks on the Miata only take vertical load from the springs, not lateral loads as a strut would. Of course the same was allegedly true of the first Mustangs, and the Sh

And to what is the upper control arm mounted? An extra brace there can't hurt. Well, of course! Wouldn't a Miata (or MX5 as it is known in the land of cold toast and cellar-temp beer) look sporting
