It runs 22 lbs of boost to make shit for power. Woof.

Fiata has less body roll, no?

A little less, but it rides better, too. Which is a consideration on a long commute.

I just drove to work with the top down in 41 degree weather. The heater is amazing.

I love the looks you get.  Some people talk to you too, which is also fun.

It's impossible to argue with Raza. He wins. Period. End of discussion.

So you wear earmuffs, ski mask, toque?  How do you keep your head warm?

A stock Miata rides 10x better than my current car, so it wouldn't be a big deal.

Yeah, it's incredible how bad that engine is. It's laggy, but makes bad top end too. You can chip it, but the gains aren't all that big and then the turbo runs out of steam. An ND running super low boost absolutely smokes the thing.

It looks like tuners are starting to find top end for the Fiata motor. Doesn't matter though. A bolt on + tuned ND hits that magic 200HP/ton mark with perfect response and less weight.
