Had an S2k and miss that car beyond any other.... Hope they get this right again and I'll own another one!

You can mod a turbo 124 to be faster than the NA Miata real easy I am sure

If they bring the S2000 back, it will most likely be under powered & be super expensive IMO

Not like there isn't 37.4x the aftermarket support for the Miata, or just an LSx.

You could also LS swap the Fiat.....

And it would still be heavier and bigger. Just don't get it, unless you prefer the styling and don't mind a little weight penalty and longer overhangs.

Sounds like Flying Miata is already having issues getting the Chevy and Mazda Canbus to talk to each other, mixing in the little bit of Fiat motor Canbus can't help things.

If the rendering is close to what's to come, they are saving money by just using the 2017 Acura MDX grill.

Don't care. I'll believe it when I see it. They've been talking about bringing the S2k or a new S3k since, well, forever. All hype and lies IMO.

FM's LS swapped ND Miata went 11s. They are good it seems.

I don't think they posted about a road course.

Ah too bad. Hope it isn't garbage on a corner.

It had one percent more weight on the front than the stock ND. Aside from frame twist, I can't see it being bad on the track.

No doubt, but it still has a CEL, so hard to register in many states. I'm sure they'll sort it out, they always have before.

They'll taunt you with 5 years of prototypes anyways, so you'll get tired of waiting even after it's announced.

Good thing I like my 1st gen Miatas then.

You have an LS7, and an NA Miata. Add a Sawzall and get choppin'!

How is an ND a better car than an NB? Lighter, more power and torque, stiffer chassis, available Brembo front calipers, much better folding roof, better interior ergonomics, etc. I had to take a turkey knife to my NB seats, remove the sun visors and hammer out the bulge for the JP fuel pump in order to fit, and I'm only 6'2". The ND, albeit smaller, has more interior space.

Sorry I miss read your post. I agree the ND is far superior than the NB. The new one is fun and light. Love it...... But it's no S2000, Which some consider the worlds fastest car.
