To all those who got seriously offended about the Miata being called gay. You guys are gay.

HA

Lighten up this is an internet forum for crying out loud. I have work next to a Mazda performance shop fpr 5 years I know how bad *** Miata's can be. *cough* chick car *cough*

Then you have idiots saying, You'll be back, the Fb is a better car, blah blah blah. Ill tell you what, you look at N3V's rotary swap and I wil agree its a cool project.

But you can boost a 1.6 Dohc with 150k miles with no issues. These cars are beasts, and yea I know they have a stigma as far as the gay thing is concerned, but I am comfortable with my sexuality. And when some ricer says man that is a chick car, I simply say, your right...Im going to pick up your chick right now.
It's funny cuz when I asked my girlfriend if she wanted me to buy her a 2002 Miata after her FC was totalled she said "No thanks, Miata's are even too gay for me, just get me another nice Rx7." I mean seriously she isn't the only girl I know that laughs at a dude in a Miata.

That is just the default avatar tag ionno I haven't touched it. I found that Santa Hat at Longs about 7 years ago in the middle of summer. Took a picture and since back then cell phones didn't have very good camera's I thought it was perfect for an avatar since it was already that small a resolution.

So yeah just call me Mr. Santa Tool

Okay well I encourage you and your GF to check out miataturbo.net or clubroadster.net. I find it hard to believe that you think the cars are gay, being that some of the most baddest Miatas, both NA or Boosted are in Cali.

I bet if tomorrow you heard a bunch of young *** punks saying FB's are a gay car, you would prolly get all self consience and sell it.

You and your girly need to grow up and quit being so ignorant. Seriously though, check out those forums. And tell me what your perspective is then. And don't just say there gay again because you wanna be a smart ***.

Give me your honest opinion. If you really think a modded miata is gay....you will always be just a tool....no Santa....just tool.

Damn dude, you sure do like sticking up for your cute little miata.

I was more or less saying stock for stock... Any car can be made in to a monster if there's enough money involved.

And while driving my buddy's NA miata, I get- "What a cute car" occasionally, mostly from obese women in their mid 30's. Hardly a chick magnet, and if you need a miata to pull girls then I fell sorry for you man.

beautiful car!!!!!! however in response to our miata loving patrons, i am appalled that you would actually have the audacity to ever say and/or believe that a miata or any piston powered car could be equal to or better than a rotary powered car no matter how fast it is... the only way to make a miata cool is to dump that hampster wheel of an engine and drop a rotary in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have said it many times before and i will continue to say it till the day i die

piston = trash
rotary = godlike

I run a smog shop located next to a mazda performance shop. I have driven some very supped up and fast Miatas, Rx7s, 8s, etc... They are all awesome cars. Miatas are just gay chick cars, thats all. Would I own one? Sure, if it was only to sell it and buy more Rx7s

Quit getting worked up about a Miata. I'm just giving the OP a hard time because he chose a Miata over an Rx7.

I race in the canyons against a supercharged miata with a driver to match the performance of the car. Trust me, I have loads of respect for them as would anyone after seeing what that car can do. Plus, if I didn't, that would make me prejudice against homosexuals cars, and that wouldn't be cool.

I have a suggestion for you funkjaw, when you go to work this morning, why don't you stick your mouth around teh tailpipe and do a smog check.

You are a idiot to think that Miatas are chick cars or even gay. I am not biases towards either, simply because I have owned both. My last rotary was a 06 Shinka. Before that a 93fd. I have owned more Rx-7's than you can shake a stick at.

If you have driven as many supped up mazdas as you say you have, then you clearly woyld know what i am refering to. I trully believe your just a insecure homophobe, and your gf is the one who wears the pants in your relationship.

But hey, it takes all kinds of people to make this fucked up world turn. And Bobbo, you are a idiot too. To even say that rotaries are better than Pistons?

I agree, they are very unique and certainly a blast to hear and drive when running properly. But the comparisons of efficiency and reliability are well,
non comparable.

I love Rx-7's ans all things rotary. Simply because they are unique. But they are unpredictable, bad on emmisions and get horrible gas milaege. Would I own another after all that I have owned? ABSOLUTELY!! Just not for a DD.

miata + 13BT = win IMHO Should have came out the factory like that then im sure EVERYONE would buy one. Am i right or am i right?

There is nothing wrong with a miata. After all it is a Mazda and a very well selling car. The damn thing feels like a go-kart. Try racing a shifter kart then driving a miata, pretty close if you ask me, just a little slower haha.

My father owns a 01 miata, i own the rotary which i DD no problem. Both fair cars with no complaints. Calling it a girl's car is just ignorant.

If i ever left rotarys i would jump into a miata.

Miatas are not gay! they are just a different form of cool ... i still have aspirations of building one for my Dad if i can't get my hands on a decent Mini Cooper S.

that said, unless it permeates your clothes with the smell of burnt hydrocarbons and a wafting of raw fuel, you can't REPLACE the Gen I. period.

When was that exactly? Even when these were new, I don't remember a lot of female drivers flocking to them.

Although there are some narrow-minded folk who think Miatas aren't manly enough, that would never deter me from owning what is a really great car. I've liked them since the first time I saw one at a car show in 1990.

Wow 91 Vert I completely see were you are comming from and understand why you are deffending the miata imo i dnt think theyre gay. But honestly pull up your, skirt pull out the tampon, and toughen up your defending miata's more than the person who started the thread. I mean realy who comes to the 1st gen section and trys to argue with rx7 purists about which car is better? Kinda pointless obviously evry one here is going to bust your ***** for doing so! And yea you did keep mentioning modded miatas. Stock miatas are nothing special theyre not even sports cars. Throw enough money at ne car an itll be bad *** besides if im even going to own ne thing with pistons i atleast want a complete engine as far as i can tell you only have half But seriously learn to deal with the gay jokes (they are just jokes Dnt ) or ditch the miata.

Supercharged Miata's make FD's look slow in autocross....

besides, how many people on here are bashing it JUST because it is a Miata? It is a Supercharged, super clean, great example of a sports car. And yes, a Miata classifies as a sports car: 2 Seats, RWD, Made to handle.

The OP's Miata has a bigger dick than most of our broken down RX7's

The Miata is actually the textbook definition of a sports car. Many old-school purists claim it's not a sports car unless it's a two seat, front engine, rear wheel drive convertible with a manual transmission. See, e.g., classic Triumphs, Austin-Healeys, MGs, Jaguars, etc.
