Where did you get that? No miatas are AWD, or ever will be (hopefully)

I wish I had a miata...

[darkboricua]

yeah thats what i thought, someone told me their miata was all wheel drive and i didnt believe them

I want to get a 94 or a 95, but I could go with like a 92 and buy an LSD.(miatamania.com) From what I've heard they are very good drift cars.

Its a great car period. It can be a bit tougher to drift. It just takes a bit more driving to make in play nice in a non grip situation
Its a solid car all around.
check out roadsterdrift.com for more
Surprised none of you suggested that site yet...
There is alot of info and support there on the miata.

My 2 fav. miata's from japan:





The white one is by far my fav. but i like how aggressive the silver one looks...

[Jeff Abbott]

I love those 2 cars. I have their pics in my garage right now. They inspire me to get my engine back in the car. Hopefully I will this weekend
