I daily drove a Boxster S for 4 years -- can't imagine doing that in a Miata.
On track, I have a lot of respect for a well driven Miata.
That being said, I now have a full weight 105K mile Boxster S with roughly a Spec Boxster suspension, I can keep up with a gutted well driven SpecMiata on a Miata friendly track (H2R) and leave the SpecMiatas behind at a track like CoTA.
My lap times in my Boxster S as is, is slightly slower then a SpecBoxster (driven well).
If I stripped the weight out of my Boxster S, even at H2R the SpecMiata would not stand much of a chance.
Cost to enter the used Boxster market is cheap (maybe comparable) -- the cost to maintain is not.
