    Seems like better stock suspension.
    I knew he was going to drift that 86. He couldn't resist.
    If I had to pick and couldn't have the miata, I'd get the FR-S.
    I never thought I would want a Scion, or any other car that's not a Miata.

    From Jalopnik "Inside, things are tight, but in a good way. It feels more like you're wearing a big mechanized suit as opposed to sitting in a room, like most cars, and that's a good thing."
    That's one of the things I love most about my car.

    The Miata had more body roll and less power. The outcome was as expected. A few bolt-ons will change that for the Miata but nothing will make the Subota a rag top short of a sawzall. Still a fun video to watch. I love hearing the Japanese language.

    I forgot about that aspect. Miata wins.

    Rumor has it that there will be a convertible 86/FR-S/BRZ in '14. Hopefully the ND will have a bit more power and a more buttoned down suspension to compete.

    ^^ That looks like my next car. Probably a used one 5 years from now though.
    I would love to test drive one of these to see how it feels compared to the Miata.
