I will admit the Miata is a nice little car for a sunday drive in the country (while grandmas in church). I love my Camaro I wonder how many people will drive around in circles to look at a Miata

This 69 COPO is Hugger Orange - my camera did a bad job of rendering the true color. I will start a new thread with some quality pics tomorrow when I have access to them.

I don't know, but when I see random links in text(s), I kind of assume it's a bot of some sort.

Dude!
I was a 68' SS 396, 76' Formula, amd 79' big block Trans Am guy, but with quality and design going down at GM I jumped into the import scene. I went to buy a 95' RX7, but they discontinued them. The salesman said what about a Miata?, I said are you joking? With the top down and taking corners at speed I was sold. With the Miata you are the car and it is you!
But... I miss power (yeah my muscle cars). So the solution is now with the great looks (retro) and quality of the Camaro I can have both!

Yes, they are very different cars, but thats why I'll keep my 4th Miata (it's got a full coilover suspension plus other handling goodies) and add a SS with a supercharger!

And I only like pu**y!

As such, Motor Trend came to many of the conclusions that I did. Including the Mazda Miata being rated a better sports car.

I'll be testing a Camaro SS soon, after having driven one briefly two weeks ago at the GM proving grounds. Don't worry, I won't mention headroom or trunk space ever again.

Cheers, M!
sports car?

I have so I don't know how you could have made your comments and expect to be taken seriously.

That's really the issue regarding your desire to be accepted as a legitimate car reviewer - you made statements about the Camaro which can be proven untrue.

Regarding the Miata - smarten up! Putting both vehicles in the same market segment is only more proof of your incompetence in car reviewing.

I made sure to NOT go to his site to read the review. That is what he wanted.

Yes, his goal of getting his site hits worked lol, But if this is a seirious review, Miata is nothing compared to a Camaro.

AHHAH, when I drive by a Miata I actually look to see if my gaydar detector go's off. miatas are like Mopeds, they may be fun to drive, but christ, you'd never show or tell your friends.
