At last, the voice of reason. I own both a '91 Miata and a '63 B and let me
tell you that the Miata handles and stops better. Same goes for the '72 and
'74 B's I've owned. The Miata accelerates better too. Its gear box is as
nice and notchy as the B's and its engine is more free reving. Sorry, but
its true.
Does this mean I think less of my B? Nope.
Which car would I rather drive? The B.
Please don't ask why; we're dealing in irrationalities here.
