I was just wondering what is considered the best model Miata/MX5 for stock class in AutoX.
I know the old R-Package was it for the NA and then it was the Sport when the NB came out.

I was just wondering what is considered the best model Miata/MX5 for stock class in AutoX.

For CS (C-Stock) my '99 Sport is the one to have! Woot! ::Banana::
Actually the MS-R is looking like it has some serous potental, but ya pretty much have to build one and you can (so far) only use a 2007 MX5 per da rulez! ;)
The NA R-package is the best Miata for E-stock but is usually out classed by the '93 MR-2.
The '99 sport is the gold standard for C-stock but the MS-R package, like POS said, is showing a lot of potential. I'd love a MS-R b/c of the torque of the NC and the great ABS brakes, but the simplicity of the '99 sport and cheaper tires is great.
Uh oh, sounds like somebody is getting the bug... :D
Nah, he's too lazy to drive anywhere west of Lewisville ;)Quote:

You really should acknowledge Keith if you are going to quote him. ;)Quote:

In the article on his Targa car in Forever MX-5, he made a comment about not liking to add weight but at least the weight is low. ;)Quote:

Wow... I pegged you for the guy that read it cover to cover the day it arrived in the mail. Mine sat for a few weeks, still in the plastic, but I took it with me to Jury Duty yesterday and read it while I waited. I guess your comment jumped out at me because I had just read the article.Quote:
