Miata bros, it's time to finally admit that the best Miata is the NC3It's like an ND2 but has Hydraulic steering with actual feedback unlike NDs dead steering and it's not a tin can like the NA/NB which if you crash at 30mph you insta-dieNC2 is great too but it's uglier so 3 wins
>>28799484if by best you mean one of the worst, sure
the only good miata is one with a 302 in it
>>28799496Drive one, anon. NC1 doesn't count.
Nc1s are like 60% the price of nc2 and 3. They are still good cars for the money.Did they fix the shitty sun visors for nc2/3?
>>28799484>best Miata is the NC3I agree.t.NA driver
>>28799484ND1 is pretty damn good too.$12-18k gets you into one and its a second slower than a ND2 ($20-26k) equally. NC2/NC3s are still too pricey for what they are, it seems like the cheapest ones are just hitting $10,000. And NCs are weird: they're not all spec'd with LSDs unless you got a fully loaded car with 6MT. A lot of them are 6MT and open diff iirc. Only way to reliably check is by pulling the window sticker. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/project-cars/2019-nd-mx-5/optimizing-our-miataby-replacing-the-car-project-t/
>>28799574woah what is that rear end?
>>28799578My car is fitted with the PitCrew Racing body kit.
>>28799484Have you driven an ND? I loved my PHRT NC while I had it, but the ND is pretty much a direct upgrade. Literally the only thing I miss from the NC is the cd player
>>28799707You don't miss the steering feel?
>>28799577>and its a second slower than a ND2Only if you redline in 1st and 2nd gear. They don't tell you that the extra hp and rpm of the ND2 is only in the first two gears.
>>28799484>only car uglier than the RX-8
>>28799795You're not edgy you're just comically hyperbolic. The NC is not the ugliest car of all time and the rx8 is not the second ugliest. There are 1,000 uglier cars than these two.
>>28799709Genuinely, it feels almost exactly the same. Maybe very slightly less responsive, but I barely noticed driving them back to back. There's some god awful electric steering out there, but I think Mazda went to great lengths to make it good on the Miata specifically
>>28799926Yea for EPAS it's damn good, but a good EPAS system is still nothing on Hydraulic, you can feel every undulation and surface change through the wheel, makes it way more engaging when pushing on
>>28799682Jesus Christ
>>28799515What is that in liters?
>>287999494.9
>>28799515>the only good miata is the one with an anemic boat anchor
>>28799484>unnecessary extra weight for "safety" is a good thingYou will never be a real driver
>>28799978>t. never raced
>>28799978Ok feel free to die in a mangled tin can, at least you died a "real driver" whatever that is
>>28799484Is that number plate legal?
>>287999495.0
>>28799682cute fish
>>28800838I'll pay that. I can totally see the likeness.
>>28799947I needed that laugh today. Thank you.
>>28799484>It's like an ND2lost me there
NC is pigfat
The Miata is a fantastic car, worthy of being hailed as the successor a long tradition of British roadsters. One of the few cars of the modern day worth owning.
How bad are the 2016 ND transmissions really? I'm tempted to carvannah one in a year or two if they hit like 10k
>>28799577It seems like the NCs are going up in price but I really want an NC2 or 3. Seems that they're the best daily of the miatas
>>287999494.95
Miata bros, it's time to finally admit that the best Miata is the Pontiac solstice
>>28804008Guess it depends on who owned it prior...but I'd still either buy whatever carvana's version of Carcare is (carmax's no questions asked warranty) or pocket that ~$2000 or so and not be surprised if the transmission does shit the bed.At least from Mazda they're not that expensive.
>>28799682Kino
>>28804088duhalso, checked
>>28804000Worthy successor? Im pretty sure its better than all the stock british roadsters. There have to have been more miata scca race cars than MG spridgets, and all the others, by this point. The Miata perfected the cheap roadster.
>>28804088The Saturn Sky looked better.
>>28804088Solstice feels like a car that wanted to have a turbo V6 but got saddled with NA fours because Corvette supremacy shall not be infringed on.
>>28804333The redline and gxp trims got a turbo 4cyl making 260hp and 260tq. Gm had a factory kit and tune that bumped the hp to 290 and tq to 320. It was warranty safe. It also added a no lift shift feature.
>>28804088this would've caught on if you didn't have to essentially gut the interior to install a rollbarthat dq'ed it from getting any amateur motorsports popularity because you can't run it at a lot of racetracks that and its a gm product so it feels half baked
