I can't see all that much of an advantage in the 6 spd.
but 15 extra ponies is a definate plus.
I almost never bounce off the limiter in 2nd anyway.

I would Hope it would be placed into AS with 185hp
but it does sound like a decent street car.
The Boxster would be close tho much less $$$ tho.

I don't think the extra 15hp will cause the Miata to
be moved, no place for it to go, it's an overdog in CS
and the new Miata isn't up to AS.
