I think it'd more come down to driver-on-driver rather than car-on-car though. You're no slouch.

Since you are all talking about drives, I'll throw this one out there:

Title: Monthly Mountain Drive

Date: Saturday February 28, 2009
Time: 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Repeats: This event repeats every month on the last Saturday.
Next reminder: The next reminder for this event will be sent in 9 days, 3 minutes.
Location: North Georgia Mountains
Notes: The route changes each month, being generally decided right before leaving. =-) The meeting place is the Starbucks just east of GA400 at exit 13. Please be ready to leave by 9 AM with a full tank of gas. This drive is open to anyone, not just Lotus drivers.

Theyre already doing it at MazMart..... If you were at the meet you would know that

By the way, I found and bought a replacement tan soft top....in near perfect condition other than the plastic window having one tiny (patched) slit in it. Just examined it....it's damn flawless!

Anyways...I got the top, already on a frame, already with a rain rail...for $50..

It's not crazy faster, but it has way more top end. I think you're a better driver, but I dunno, it'd be a close race.

Hey Ray, remember that time when you would post several times and people would complain that you could've done it in one post? Those were the days huh?

Miata Club meet:



My brother just picked up a blue NC Miata, a PRHT version. Father has the NB, I want the NA. Except with a rotary. I am a part of a few miata clubs around here, so I know when someone is selling a car. Plus someone had to inform them about Zoom Fest

The two black clips on the radiator seem to indicate that there's a pusher on the front side, held in with tranny cooler mounts.

I've got the new GSL-SE all sorted, so it's time to put her up for sale. Anybody know someone local looking for a car?

I believe they are MSD, but not 100% sure. Will find out for you.
