I've seen that you can rent track cars in some locations, but can you rent an NA, NB, or NC in the DFW area just to drive around for the weekend? I'd like to spend more time with the car than a 10 minute test drive...

Hertz rents slushbox NCs at some of their locations.
Good point. It has to be a 5/6 speed...
How much is your budget? I am sure someone on this board would not mine to rent you his/her baby for a weekend for the right price!
What about insurance...
This more of your never ending quest to someday possibly own a Miata?? ;)
Sold the Mustang yet?
Funny, I was just talking to a customer about this today. He told me Import Motorsports rented out race ready Miatas. Anyone know anything about that?
Nope. I'm looking for a cheap second one but I want to make sure that I want one
They have a handful of 300hp miats they rent out too. I usually rent one from there when I want to do a track day.Quote:

I doubt there is anywhere to rent a manual transmission Miata. American rentals are almost always automatics. I think the best you can do is to find that Hertz place the Titus is talking about, and rent a slushbox NC. You won't get the "full effect" of a manual transmission Miata, but many of the driving dynamics will be similar. And you'll get a good feel for how it is to "live with a Miata" (size/room, radio and climate controls, fit-n-finish, seat comfort, etc.).Quote:

You may want to ask them about it. IIRC most have about a 100 mile limit.
