Revising the MX-5’s engine made a great car even better–more power, more revs and more fun. Putting a retractable hardtop on it turned great roadster into a great coupe. This is all review for the class.
Our latest tester? The loaded Grand Touring RF. Pause. Fitted with an automatic box. We're curious what our friends over at Flyin' Miata …
This one is pretty easy for me, RF GT-S. I daily either a hardtop NB or a soft top NB. In the winter, the hardtop is fantastic. Any chance I can, the top is down. But, I like the Club's upgrades, limited slip is a requirement for winter driving if you want to actually get around.
I'm used to stock NB brakes, so I doubt I'd spring for the Brembos. As weird as this sounds, I'd prefer cloth to leather, although the ND seats are worlds better than the early NB seats, so sliding out of them is less likely a concern...
I know that is how much cars cost, but wow. The wife's Mazda6 was less than that, and it had everything but Nav... oh, wait, that was 7 years ago.
JG was praising the gearbox in the Supra. I'd love to know how the automatic is in the Miata from a driving standpoint, It isn't like I'm really competitive enough in autocross for the transmission to matter, and automatics and boost go well together.
GT-S with FM midpipe and exhaust, FM Stage 2 suspension, FM Little Big Brakes and a set of 17x8 6ULs with 235/40-17 S.drives.
That's what we have in our shop with our name on the title :)
