This thread is worthless without pics! :)

I just bought the 07 True Red NC Grand Touring.

Will have pics up tomorrow, first light.....yay!!!!

BTW, this car drives soooo much flatter than my NB and has wayyyy more pep. i have only driven it about 50 miles but I LOVE IT!

Thanks for all the help guys ;)

:clap:

Congrats!

I liked driving my gf's 99 AE so much I decided to get one and I agree that the NC is quite an improvement. Now if the aftermarket will just catch up.
Congrats on your new ride. Love the color choice.

Congrats Billy. Now hurry up and put a blower on that thing! ;-)

Congrats. Dont touch it and enjoy your warranty :-)

Well said!!!

I am still trying to get used to the 6 speed...it seems pretty odd with reverse being on the other side of the spectrum,...shifting is fun :D

thanks.

i saw a shiteload of aftermarket parts on www.good-win-racing.com
also MOSS has a bunch of interior stuff.

Congratulations, Billy.

Congrats, the NC I drove seemed like it had a lot more body roll than my NA but it could've been the tires.

Congrats Billy. Just drive it and don't F with it! ;)

If there's one thing NOT to eff with on the NC, it's the interior! ;)

I drove one a while back and thought it was waaaaaay smoooooooth - a whole different animal compared to my '94 (good news/bad news, of course... :rolleyes:).

Congrats on your 21st century Miata! :burnrubr:

Awesome! Can't wait to see it!

Congrats on the car, i drove an Nc but it had springs on it so i don't know how they drive stock. It did feel like the chassis was a lot stiffer as i didn't feel every bump like you do in the NB. Also all the little quirks the previous generations had it doesn't. What i don't understand on the NC is the gauge hood has a big gap between it and the dash right Thomas? ;)

Congrats, Billy!

Billy, yer makin' us nervous. Go read Majik's post again... and enjoy your bone-stock, under warranty, actually works, Miata (i.e. learn from past... experience... grasshopper). No ghost flames, blowers, ejector seats, or rocket launchers for you...

;-)

So... trade you an RC plane for the NB... ;)

Thanks for pointing that out to me!!! :punchout:

Congrats Billy! Don't mess with it and enjoy driving it! I think the NC makes a great daily driver but would definitely take some work to make it feel as nimble as a NA/NB. The good think is that it still feels like a Miata, it doesn't feel big or heavy.

Thanks guys.

that gap mentioned is AC/heating vents

Couple other things is it has a 12v outlet.
You can control the heated seats individually but there are no settings on them it's on or off and controlled by an internal thermostat if i read the manual right.
I have to drive it more but I dont think there is anything I want different on the car right now cept the muffler is weak sounding and maybe an intake...and a....

Just kidding.

I will have the pics up in a couple hours.

How much weight difference is between an NB and NC?
