We both ramped it way down and cruised gently back into civilization. I hope lessons were learned that day... and maybe some tire shopping.
That comes down to tires. With equal tires a Miata can out corner a Boxster. I've owned both. The Miata's weight advantage is hard to beat. But, wherever there is room to put down real power, the Miata loses.
