dan, all ball and socket joints have labrums. ladies have labia. bit different...

although maybe because you're more stout, the bulls won't be able to throw you around...ever seen a bullrider? they're like juiced up jockeys with cowboy hats- that is to say, about half of what you and I weigh


hey if the miata really is easier to drive than the gt3 (which I agree is super easy)- than maybe we can win right away and move on to Rx-8 koni challenge cars.

We'll see..

Datax if you could see all the money I've lost on cars in the last 5 years alone, you'd have me committed...

CJ, you didn't break down each bullriding injury into a dollar figure..I need actuals..lol...and a Labrum? I thought only women had Labrums?? You calling me a woman?
Humm...that's interesting. Yes, if you're good at karting and fast with M3s or any spec or prepared BMWs (front engine rear wheel drive, balanced cars) you should be quite good driving Miatas with minimum seat time.

Datax, I think you mis-read my post...I am fast in a GT3, I was not fast in my M3 the one day I took it out, I found it much easier to drive my GT3 fast, of course that was due to familiarity, but I hear M3's and miatas are easier to drive fast so maybe my learning curve will be less steep...and considering I won't be afraid to push the MX-5, like I am the GT3...looking forward to it


CJ, maybe that explains why I couldn't satisfy the ladies, a shoulder massage wasn't doing what I thought it was...lol

Light, I see you guys all the time running at MSR, I like open wheel, just not right now...

BSI has their entire Pro MX-5 Cup racing outfit for sale, 3 cars, all spares and equip. for $80K...

Nothing presently.
Car is in a storage building. One of these days I'll find time to get pics and then put the car up at starmazda sight.
Which is why the local deal would have been good.
Besides pics lie. Eyeballs much better.

If you want to learn how to race you have to go racing it just that simple. I don't think it matters what you drive, every type of car needs something a little different to coax the best lap times out of it. Racing is so much diferent that running DE's. I agree buy something cheap to learn in.
Good Luck,
Phil

miata is VERY EASY to drive.
miata is EXTREMELY HARD to drive fast.
when you follow a truly good miata driver you will then realize how hard it is.
in a GT3, if i make a mistake, i can still get back to catch the GT3 in front.
but in miata, you screw up one turn you are history. that's the thing about momentum cars.

those who ride

GT3 is a modern road bike
miata is a fix gear, you lose momentum, you might as well just quit.

I hope I am wrong; I think it is the yellow color, that makes the sale not going as fast. Looks like, P-Car in Vett color?

I took my bone stock M3 around Limerock for a 1:06 pass, they are highly capable just have to get use to the wallow and so on, but they stick

Can't believe people are low balling you, that price is a steal for what you get :|

how is this still around?

mint condition
low miles
nicely modded
priced well

If I were in the market, I would be all over this... despite the fact that I am not a fan of SY... I could get over it.

Good Luck!

I will point it out to a few people up here in Seattle that are not RLsters

Mous,

since Vette owns yellow, what car claims white, black and silver?

I've always dreamed of owning a vette, this was as close as I could get...
