So I drove an MX-5 Mk3

I also have a NB, absolutely love it!!! Is it as good or as capable as a Boxster? Heck No! Is it as much fun, IMO undoubtedly yes.

Is that roll bar mounted to the frame? I've read some stories about serious injuries in rear end collisions where the bolt-on roll bar moved forward and had a mouse trap effect on the passengers.

It looks like one of the hard dog rollbars, I have had 2 of them in 2 different miatas for my son. They are the real deal when mounted properly.

I did see a guy driving around town yesterday with one the "mousetrap" roll hoops - I was scared just from looking at it. They are just bolted on in one place, and if you rollover there is a good chance it will come down on your neck, hence the name "mousetrap".

Steve is correct, it is the HardDog unit (6 mounting points) with double diagonals, a real pita to install but imo well worth it. Many years back I was driving a car involved in a rollover and many years later was right behind a friend on the Dragon who rolled his convertible, in both cases they definitely saved lives.

The roll bar debates go on forever like oil threads, for me they are very much worthwhile.......
