That's an upgrade if I've ever heard of one! I'd love to have a Miata, but it's just not quite practical enough for me. So...do you get to drive it whenever you want? ;)

A 240 is mildly chicky as well. you guys need to start appreciating more cars than just 240's. There are much better rides out there than these things.

How is a 240sx a chicky car? Maybe the convertible but thats the only reason I would say a Miata is chicky. Miatas with a hardtop look badass and I would imagine they handle even better also.

240sx was sold as a secretaries car, the 300zx was sold as a mans car. Live with it ;)

Damnit your right. Ah oh well I guess I'll have to make up that horsepower difference since Nissan wanted to jip us on that.

Wasn't this established a looong time ago...?

Congrats on the miata...I'm actually looking to trade in this monster tank of a car that I have now for something sporty and rwd. (Because I know another 240 is almost out of the question...for now)

Over the past few months I have gained a newfound respect for Miatas, they handle so well. I use to hate them with a passion, usually because of the fact its only 40 yr. old men driving them.
