Unlike Bean0r, I'm not going to hit you with a teaser pic of a stupid key.

Tough call on what I would be taking to any track though... I guess it would depend on what track and what size... and how far away it was.

If it was local... probably bring the 240 KAT

If it was far away, and a rather large track, I'd probably bring the Prelude (like I did for Savannah). If it was more tight and twisty... then I guess I'd bring the miata.

That's the boosted one right?

I drove one at a meet 2 weeks ago, amazing little cars. Didn't expect the little suprise at 4K RPM.

Miata's since their release have been one of the most fun cars to AutoX with!

Ahh, I see. I was looking to buy that exact one, non-boosted, a while ago, but it had too much rust in the engine bay. It was a fun drive regardless.

Nice ride. Isn't Barber Motorsports Park only 3-4 hrs from you? Miata would be more entertaining on the track than a Prelude.

Yeah, but the 'lude has more balls, and would be better suited for a fast track with more straightaways.

The miata would destroy all on a track where cars don't get much faster than 60mph.

Unless the lude has been modified, it aint that much faster. But I have an easy solution...Prep both for the track.
