    I don't think it will ever handle as well as a miata so you are all probably safe.

    LOL! Anyone that thinks otherwise really doesn't understand vehicle dynamics...and therefore is probably driving a Miata!

    Exactly, same car. And anyone that would seriously build one of those today is ignorant. Or a fool. Or a fan-boi.

    GA, who used to be all three, and was proven correct when, in 2004 (2005?), he predicted he "had one, maybe two years" to get "this s**t done" before people decided to seriously build Miatas for ITA...

    I still believe there are other cars out there that can get the job done. Parts, availability, builder knowledge and desire to work on one... Certainly harder.

    Cancer fight aside, totally impressed with what Tim Dugan did this season fighting with an ITS car in ITR, AND even more than that, against some top prep built ITR cars with drivers who have TONS of seat time, coaching, can afford to wreck it. Nice job dude. Really nice job.

    I sincerely encourage you to demonstrate/support that belief.

    Not right now Greg. Needed to simplify my life with the little kids and Kessler down the street from me and Miata focus means exactly that. I did the oddball Prelude two year only generation car for too long. If the timing had been right, I absolutely would have purchased Jeff Underwood's Civic when it was up for sale (yes, I know IT.

    I'm target rich because I honestly don't like driving what everyone else is and for some reason often find myself doing things the hard way. Kakashi? Something like that?
