Wow, is that REALLY what you got out of my comments?

But since you bring it up, 1/4 mile times are yet another proof of the Miata's mediocrity. It has mediocre lap times on any track, mediocre acceleration times over any distance, and mediocre fuel mileage given its tiny size, weight, and performance. On the other hand, it can be enormously fun, especially with suspension upgrades (and even more so with a solid turbo setup, but I digress.) Any way you slice it, that fun is being had in a mediocre vehicle.
