Default SM vs Cobra

Ernie,
Kputz is correct about the low cost REAL racing with the Miata. Also low thrill ride.
Lets face facts Open track and racing is just like car shows, guys do it to stroke their own egos. None of the guys we Open track with are serious racers except for one but we all appreciate it when a stranger comes up to us in the pit and asks what the hell do you have for power in that thing."you blew past me like I had stopped and you almost blew my eardrums out. That freeking thing is LOUD". We have Open tracked at the same event with NASA and they were running the spec series Miatas and I can guarantee nobody ever accused a Miata driver of blowing by.
All Kputz has to do is run that Cobra of his unmuffled and he will get his ego stroked faster than you can say Miata.

LOUDER IS BETTER
