The Miata was far more fun @ legal speeds, and I actually think it could have beaten the 996 to 60-70mph. Turbo Miatae are incredibly fun.

I now have an '08 987s. Much more mature feeling car, as others have said. Brings back a bit of the sense of accessible performance the Miata had, but not all. I do long for the zany sleeper performance that the F/I Miata provided.

You know its probably just a matter of time before you get another one. It gets in your blood! They reveal the inner child.
