I've seen the Miatas make 200+rwhp with a turbo kit and minimal other mods, so I know they take to turbos well.

I have 196 stock and 208 with just a V-AFC.
This thread is getting rediculous. Miatas handle just as good as an S2000 and worlds better than a Civic. I would never call out a stock miata in my S2000 on an AutoX course. They are beasts on a small track. The insecurity of my small penis will not let me drive a Miata, so instead I choose to drive the S2000 so I can feel better about myself. hahahaha........
Miatas are dope, S2000's are sweet dope, Civics can be dope. Stop argueing
And to whoever said that they think the NSX motor might end up in an S2000.......I'll bet my car title on that it won't

ive driven both.
i drove silvernb's miata tonight. in my opinion.. that things on RAILS compared to my car. very well balanced.. in comparing them to a s2k "feel"... in my opion (notice its mine, not a magazine) i think they both handel equally to an extent in their own catagories.. i'd rather drive an s2k on a road cource and a miata on a smaller track (solo2).
The feeling of them... the s2k when you drive it actually "feels" more sporty.. like a sports car should. the miata is VERY smooth in all aspects, handeling, shifting etc etc. i could have just as much fun driving that miata around a track as i could a s2k... well.. i take that back. i felt pretty cramped in the miata.. had the seat as far back as it would go and still needed to stretch my legs.
