the frs/brz is the most obvious choice.

>best handling stock production car on stock production tires
who cares? an frs with 225 direzza IIs will handle better.

all while making more power, having a top, having more space.
the miata needs to be faster. they should have made the base 30k and used that extra 5k to give it some actual power and make it a real roadster.

The market got even more fucked up for the S2k as time marched on. There's no such thing as a clean one these days - Salvage title is pretty much the only option and it's fucking nuts how much people are willing to spend when they could be buying cars that are actually fast and don't attract tattooed, pierced, sleazy-ass slags with the herp/syph/crabs.

Corvette C5 is the only reasonable option.

A FRS is 85% of that feeling vs the Miata's 90-95%. And I'd rather trade the 5-10% if it means getting a roof over my head for when its shitty outside and a trunk and backseats I'll inevitably fold down to fit shit inside when I do groceries or go shopping.

Any advantage the Miata could have by being a convertible is made null because if its nice and sunny out, why even break a convertible out when I can ride my bike to work? What's the point of even having a convertible at that point?

Rigidity is ALWAYS ALWAYS compromised with a convertible.

That means that if they had included a roof in the design, all things being the same, the fixed roof will always have the better chassis.

Does that mean that the new Miata is a wet noodle? No, of course not - but rigidity still would've been better as a 2 door coupe.

At the end of the day, neither the FRS nor the Miata are cars you buy for the numbers or benchmarks.

A roofed MX5 may indeed be better relative to itself as a convertible, but the ND MX5 torsional rigidity as a convertible is better relative to most other cars.

of all points this is the most stupid, op. Tehy are cheap as fuck. I bought the 2l with the best configuration (except some recaros) for 27k Europoor money. If I wanted a German roadster I had to pay double to get the same features + they weigh 500kg more.
>>
>>14043946
You have to be incredibly stupid to believe this, it would be even more stiff and rigid if it were a coupe, the top helps, that's why when you add a top to a NA or NB miata you get added stability with the body. I'm sure they had to add in extra stabilizers in the design because it's a roadster to create this feel.

I have an NA with a hard top. The hard top does not add any chassis stiffness. It's just a hunk of fiberglass. It does increase visibility and headroom quite a bit though and a couple mph of top speed from better aero.

If you want practicality in a sports car, than you're not in the market for a sports car.

Secondly, everyone is in agreement that the Miata handles significantly and substantially better than the BRZ/FRS. Literally every side-by-side comparison between the two cars have stated that the Miata simply feels much better to drive.

Third, being one second faster than a Miata is like being slightly slower than a slug. The Miata was never meant to be a fast car, just a great one to drive. It would mean much more if it were significantly faster than the Miata and considering the FRS/BRZ being considerably bigger, you would think it would have at least some power, which it doesn't. Quite frankly, after driving a FRS/BRZ myself, I couldn't help but wonder if I was driving a commuter car. I had an existential crisis in the FRS/BRZ. Like what is the purpose of a sports car that is supposedly competing with a roadster, yet has an anemic engine, feels duller, is significantly heavier, and overall feels like a chore to drive?

The answer is, the FRS/BRZ is simply a confused car. It's the size of a grand touring car as far as sports cars go, it has the power that just barely edges out a Miata of all things, it has backseats which barely has enough space for a carton of eggs, handles like an angry ex, and just overall does nothing well enough to excel at anything. You can't call it a roadster because it doesn't handle like one. You can't call it a sports car because it has no power. You can't call it a commuter car because it has nothing to commute and is incapable of transporting anything.

I've driven both cars. There is no comparison. Unless Toyobaru decide to actually upgrade it, there's no reason to ever buy a FRS/BRZ. It's just simply a half-ass of all trades, and a master of none.

>Specific trim of Miata
The club trim
>vague FR-S/BRZ with no trim level
2 cars, most consider the FR-S the base and BRZ the higher trim

You're comparing a specific trim of one car to a full range of trims
Effectively, if you had miatas on both sides it would be
>Club vs Base/Club
or for the 86
>BRZ vs FR-S/BRZ
get the problem now?

>>Not to mention it's not even officially called the Miata

Its called market niche, but your dumbass wouldn't know that.

Honestly.. I didn't like the FRS/BRZ when it first came out. I couldn't really see what it offered, where it fit in.

But, now seeing what it's up against (basically nothing other than the miata and a bunch of wrong wheel drives) I feel like it's the best car in that price range.

The Miata is also a good car in that range. If you were leaving them both stock, sure get the Miata. but I feel like as a base for a tuner/track car, it's not as good. The FRS/BRZ is bigger, more practical, more hp, easier base engine for tuning (probably cheaper too), has a roof. If the Miata had more power it would be different, but honestly.. 150hp at the crank in 2015.. with that much compression. Why not just buy an NB.
>>
>>14045811
>get the problem now?

no I fucking dont, because its the same goddamn car underneath marketed under different badges.

the only literal fucking difference is the front bumper, the headlights, badges and the controls for the AC.

>you didn't address all of the other problems I pointed out

like what?

I gave you your track times and your numbers, and I patentiely tried to explain that the FRS and BRZ is the same goddamn car, even down to the tires they've been supplied with for 4 years.
>>
>>14045766
>>14045793

Funnily enough, the only people who think the FRS/BRZ are better have never driven a Miata due to it being a "car for fags and hairdressers".

Get rid of your bias and the objective truth is a pill less bitter to swallow. Despite the Miata's image, it is a great handling car and should serve as a benchmark for all roadsters. The FRS/BRZ is barely faster and just overall doesn't have the handling prowess to compete with a Miata. As a roadster, it's not even in the same ballpark of a Miata. As a sports car, it can't even compete because there is no power.

Might as well make up a completely new sub-category of cars to make yourself feel special for the FRS/BRZ to be the best of. I mean surely if you were ever to choose a FRS/BRZ over the Miata, obviously you are objectively very very "special" in the rides the white short bus definition of the term.
>>
>>14045851
>FRS/BRZ are better have never driven a Miata

if you were to completely ignore the fact that 99% of 86 owners have owned miatas in the past then ok. my first car was a NB.

>The FRS/BRZ is barely faster and just overall doesn't have the handling prowess to compete with a Miata

barely faster? its 25mph faster for starters, and 2000-4500 bucks cheaper than the club trim that can barely compete with a basic FRS for 25k.

> As a sports car, it can't even compete because there is no power.

>Get rid of your bias

I did, along with the mazda. then I got myself a BRZ.
>>
>>14045851
I can't fit in the new miata. I'm only 6'3" too.
Also I hate convertibles.

Also, put 225 direzza 2's on a brz and it will handle just as good as a miata and make 50 more hp.

Sounds like you ordered a miata or something desu you're getting emotional and butthurt and using buzzwords like roadster.

What suspension does the toyobaru have up front kek

Afaik there are only two spec series' for the toyobaru, both are exclusive to Japan and Australia no where else
Meanwhile spec miata literally biggest in the world
Must say something huh, if one car is pretty much the default wheel to wheel spec racer all across the globe and the other is well... a toyobaru

Roflmao that damage control
Yes the miata is the most popular spec racer in the world and it's for a reason. Deal with it
>>
>>14046216

its also the most popular runabout for gay couples and old women

bragging about your cute little convertible having its own league is like bragging about your mental handicap being represented in the Paralympics.

you've never participated in it, you never will, and you've never even been in the vicinity of the tracks its held at.

>Whatever helps you deal with the slowbaru being worse in literally every way

but

the 86 is cheaper, faster and seats 2 more
>>
>>14042780
It's a "feels" car. I won't call it a go-kart, because mine feels like a Camry on the way home from a real go-kart session, but it's along those lines. The controls feel very direct and un-damped. It's the most responsive car short of a Lotus or Caterham. And that makes it fun. It also makes it a handful as a daily driver (loud and rough).

Since it isn't very fast, you're also more likely to wring it out all the time on the street. That's why I get 21mpg in my 2002 Miata. Honestly, that's half the fun - I'd hate to tiptoe around all the time in a 300hp car.

The BRZ/FR-S is similar, but less extreme (i.e. heavier). But it needs to be driven at higher rpm to be faster. At 2,000 - 4,000 rpm, power levels are similar, and the ND Miata is a little more powerful when the BRZ/FR-S has its torque dip at 4,000. After 5,000 rpm the BRZ starts to make more power, though the Miata still has a better power/weight ratio. Near 6,000 rpm, the BRZ genuinely pulls away. The high compression ratio in that Skyactiv engine hurts the high end and forces a low redline.

Mitsubishi better be packing a new 3000GT and RWD FTO/Eclipse to make up for the dead Evo.

Does Mitsu even make cars anymore? Since the Lancer/Evo died aren't they all just rebadged Suzukis? They make more money from electronics than they ever could with cars.
