:roll2: because you can’t have knowledge with out experience…
I guess it’s only fair to ask those who have actually driven a miata and a 240 in auto-x.:nite:

Miata if you like a precise/fun car good luck winning that class though.
Or if you like auto-xing slow turds like I do go for the 240.
EDIT: Or better yet why don’t you try both, and see which you like more.

240, I have to defend it now since everyone all ready said Miata. The only advantage I see of a miata is that its smaller. The engine is also smaller, now with a 240 for it to be really worth it you invest 2-3k for a engine swap and you can get something 2.0L and Turbo into a nice 240 setup and you’ll have a car a lot better then a miata.

In a totally different class, where it will get slaughtered.

Yea, well that was just my opinion. I guess mainly for autocross you’d be looking for something differnt. Especially with no moneys for mods a nice little miata would be good.

Miata’s can be a tough car to learn and to drive competively…240s might be a little easier both will be fun as hell…so just do a rotation
