nice write up! I used to own an NA miata (95). boy do I regret selling it. was great fun and 100% reliable. drove it to 110k miles and never replaced anything but timing belt due to age--it never broke--not that it would matter since it's a non-interference engine.

one comment: I'm actually cross-shopping these two cars. I could afford a new 911. But a bit like you, I care more about how enjoyable the car is. So I will test drive the 2009 Miata which supposedly has brought back the handling of the earlier cars (less roll/dive than first years of NC) and see how it compares.

But if you never drive them back to back, you probably don't appreciate how much slower the Miata is. I ended up selling mine because I drove a faster car one day and was suddently disappointed in the pick up of my miata and sold it. Dumb move. I guess ignorance truly is bliss.
