Spec Miata
 
I've run Spec Miata. It's ok. The cars have decent handling and very good brakes. The fields feature some nice competition as well.

But, I have to confess, running FFR Spec Cobra is a whole lot more fun and is actually cheaper to run. The FFRs are *way* faster and look/sound so much better. With the Mustang running gear and cheap parts (not to mention cheap tires that really last), we've found it is cheaper to run the Cobra than a Miata. The Miatas do have an advantage in that you can bump them and it isn't as expensive as the fiberglass though.

There are several spec miata web sites. You can start with sccaforum.com to get going.

Thank you Dan. I have enjoyed reading about your racing in the different threads. I will check out sccaforum. Any other websites you recommend? I am really focused on the spec miatas for now. But i still might come out to play with the SpecFFRguys at an open track with my 968 one of these days.

Am almost finshed with a turbo miata. Don't trust the Cobra. Will see how it does at a lapping day soon-cb

Go to www.specmiata.com for all the skinny. Think the car is slow? Road racing is about corner speed and I can cover the bumper of some mighty fast cars all through the twisties, but alas, no torque, so you say goodbye on the straights. Need more speed? Slap a turbo on the Miata and run with the big dogs in the Open Events (check out what finished an eyelash behind the Cobra in the 7 Tracks in 7 Days event) and watch the Viper guys weep.
