That HP with the lower weight will out run a Boxster at the track.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Boxster, but I can build a Miata track car for under $10k and when it breaks, I don't have to get a 2nd mortage

Strongest aspect of the Miata is low cost maintenance & consumables. Although I'm always tempted to AutoX our Boxster, the Miata is just the perfect tool for it.
I think for the purposes of this thread: handling, a Miata is really tough to beat - just look at the Solo Nationals entries.
