In the process of buying a miata, I wasn't very happy with how the ms3 performed last season being a high horse power Fwd car just didn't work for me.
when scott page was telling you he didn't buy a mazdaspeed to drive slow at an autox
I think the key is to get experience and learn on a lower HP car. Once you improve that driver mod, you can start increasing the power. Unfortunately with FWD, there's a point where too much HP slows you down because it will spin the tires instantly. If you compare your MS3 with mine, our mods are very similar, except you have a shitload of power and I'm slightly above stock power levels LOL. We both ran Hoosier slicks too, except I was able to put down slightly faster times. You were slowed down due to spinning your tires almost every time you stepped on the gas.
A Miata would be great to learn on with it's low HP.
Completely agree, you pissed me off something horrible. I am excited about the miata. Most of the bt stuff has sold already just waiting on money then the miata can come home. and the ms3 will be the perfect dd! very excited and a lot less stressed
There will be a lot less stress when your DD is no longer your track car. This is something that's been preventing me from doing tons of track days. Hopefully someday I get to the point where the only thing my DD does is be a DD. I can't afford to break my car and not be able to drive to work. I've also put plenty of thought into buying a beater or cheap car for a DD. However, I'm so spoiled with the MS3 that I would hate driving a slow boring car to work every day HAHA.
I can't wait to dd the ms3 again. and the ms3 is just too expensive for me to break anyway. I had fun at Mid Ohio but it was nerve racking at the same timehaha most people would. should be easy to get rid of. Will sell it when the weather is nice and the ms3 is ready to come back out and play
