"02996ttx50

i sure wouldn't want to count on the durability of any cab that has a roll bar internalized. first i'd ever heard of it. i have a tequipment bar, and hope i never need to test it obviously, but anything less than that i'm not sure i could "trust" being upside down and relying upon to keep that a pillar section intact while being under it. ack.

If you really want a stick, get a stick. Seen it too many times, people settle for a Tip and regret it later... Also, get ready for the " OOO but its not a stick" comment from enthusiasts at car meets if you participate in those types of events.. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your search, you will love the extra power regardless, especially coming from a NA 911.

yeah it is kind of interesting you are ambivalent about the transmission. I could see if it was PDK but a old torque converter type auto

The "it's not a stick crowd" usually drives mustangs or other cars that are sub 996tt performance. Plenty of Miata guys made that comment, I returned with the "does your wife know your out driving her car"

Berra

Miata...lol! Even Peter Griffin states the obvious, the Miata isn't a sports car.

For those of you that might not know, Peter Griffin is a character in comic series Family Guy.

I've said many a time if these depreciate any further they'll BE the "new miata".

Jeff_DML

yes a gutless miata with a automatic would be terrible. I would take a tiptronic 996TT anyday over that.

greencalex

Well, as a person who now owns both cars, I will say that the Miata has its charms.


If it does quality as a "sports car," it is clearly going to be at a very different extreme of the definition of the term from a 996TT.


And I definitely wish the 996TT shifter felt more like the Miata one...

It was more of a joke from my side I've actually been in one as a passenger but also driven it. This was back in 2004-2005 when I was 18, it was really fun to drive.

Personally though, a sports car should have power, doesn't have to be Porsche Turbo power but the Miata isn't exactly a fast car. It does however have everything else a sports car should have...balance, nice feel to it, nice steering etc.

Imagine if Mazda went nuts and gave it 300-350 hp...talk about fun and fast little rocket.

This is what I imagine when I think of Miatas

What is stopping you from posting in the WTB section other than the fact that you have not become member of forum?

kmagnuss

Nothing that I know of. I thought I had to pay to be a member and that's not something I'm willing to do.

Lemme get this straight then. You want our help to circumvent the rules of the board b/c your too cheap/unwilling to pay 20 bones to the board? Good luck with that strategy. The mods should have all ready hit you with the ban hammer.
