Chick Cars

To be perfectly honest, I'm guilty. I originally bought my Miata as a high school car for my oldest daughter.
She HATED it (noisy, too small, she didn't feel safe, she didn't like shifting, she couldn't take more than one friend, yada, yada, yada).
I friggin' LOVE this thing. I also loved the Douglas A-4. And the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18.
So much for the chick car theory.

Based on other V8 owners, both will work well. Obviously the straight line traction will be better with the drag radials but the RS3's should hold well second gear and above.

I take them for a nice ride and maybe throw in a few 1.2g corners with fear-of-god inducing late braked entry speeds. If they are pale and shaking a bit afterwards, I know I don't need to say a thing.
Not hypothetical by the way. I have offered this introduction into light weight sports cars on many occasion.
G forces can be fun in more than one direction.

Any hater who gets a ride in a somewhat properly setup and decently driven miata gets shut the ---- up on the first 50 mph left hand turn.

yeah, like everyone I've heard it and think its funny. the general population knows nothing about about cars so they can talk all the ---- they want, doesn't even register with me. spec miata is the most popular race series in history end of story. I know at at least half a dozen people that sold sold various sick track cars, porsche gt-3, vettes to buy miatas because they got sick of paying for consumables every weekend.

I also refuse to believe that it's a chick's car when some one at my build owns one and it has Special Forces stickers on the back window. I work on an Army installation, so I don't think it's someone ------- around.
