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

i personally think this thread was started on bs and all u diehard loyalists are defending your car by dogging the other....thats stupid. i personally love the s2000 and have had bad run-ins with miatas so im partial to say that the s2000 would kick its ass, BUT in each case.....the manufacturer designed the cars MAINLY to get your rich ass's down the road in style fast. SO WHAT if one is better than the next stock.....if you want to compare cars on auto-x or drag compare equally built ones that have been tuned for those purposes. stock....i hate the miata, but tuned, those lil devils ball ass on auto-x. i DONT beleive the s2000 was designed with small track use in mind so NO they arent as great as the miata. but on a big road coarse, the s2000 will eat it for lunch. theyre both nice cars. bottom line. BTW.....my crx DOES drift

oh dude you have it all wrong. Less weight in the back will keep it from drifting. Inertia.....think inertia. If you take a turn to fast with a lot of weight in the back inertia will make the back end want to continue travling in the direction it was, therefore it would drift to the outside of the turn intsead of just following the front end. The lighter the back of the car is the more apt it is to follow the front end.
Experiment- take a peice of string with some sort of weight tied to the end of it. Now hold the other end of the string and swing the weight around over your head. Pretty easy huh? this is in effect, drifting a car that is rear end heavy. Now do it the other way. Hold on to the weight and swing the loose end around over your head. This simulates a heavy motor up front and light weight in the back. Doesn't swing as easy huh?

thats the same analagy i used to semi-describe unsprung wheel weight and inertia. but it fits drifting better.
and in my prelude... if i turn JUST right, and fluctuate the gas just right. i can get my rear end to slide out .. its not "controlled" but it is sliding out.
