Man, maybe I just had a crappy example, early gen NA1, maybe it was just worn out, but had a chance to drive one and was honestly a bit underwhelmed...

The engine was the best part of it and it was "good enough", not "WOOOOO VTEECCCCCC"

The suspension was soft, pitch and dive under hard braking (on a street... not even on track)

The brakes were... yea... brakes....

Don't know how to describe it.... The car didn't feel "tight and responsive", like it was a good car don't get me wrong, but it wasn't a "god" car....

I think a huge problem was my self, I had unrealistic expectations.... it was one of those never meet your heros moments... was not jaw dropped amazed, and I think anything below that was not acceptable to me loool

I thought it was gonna be on par with the F355/F360 (I never had a chance to drive those loool), but I did had a chance to rev a F355... my god....

But back on topic, as mentioned above and in my previous post... 400HP is plenty, 400HP will be too much for my miata lol... I think 160whp will be too much for my miata loooolll (160 is double of my whp right now XD)
