Not saying they are comparable at all, I'm saying on paper if someone is looking for that exact spec, a Challenger will pop up.

The first 2-3 minutes of this video also show what a Miata can do with proper power. So hats off to the Miata. And to you as a driver when you can pass cars with more than 2x the HP.
^ awesome

At around 0:43 you start to get a sense of just how fast that thing is. Both of you were tearing it up out there.

Yeah, that thing was well driven, and pulled on me on the straights. I knew what was up when he (or she) caught up to me on the back straight. While I was doing 160mph at like 2s into the video. Love it! I'm sure all the Porshes were drooling

I would never buy a 3,600 pound car. 3,200 is pretty much my limit. I also don't really want anything much longer than 170", which makes Mustangs and Camaros pretty much invisible to me.

To anyone complaining why no turbo....

Engineering explained did a whole video about it, in the end it has to do with packaging, weight distribution, cost, gearing, efficiency and so on, including tire diameters, unsprung weight increase from bigger brakes because the car will be heavier and go faster etc.... it would have had a huge domino effect at the essence of why the car exists would no longer be in correlation of what the car is meant to be, which would pretty much make it pointless.

They do have great presence, and eat the BRZ/FRS all day long for breakfast in a straight line. But neither are known to be great at handling. I am talking strictly straight out of the box.

In that the 86/BRZ is again, closer to a MX-5, but then the MX5 is a 2 seater

So while we can say that the car could use more power, really it is unique in the market. Someone shopping for an American coupe isn't shopping at a Subaru/Toyota dealer, and someone buying an MX5 is buying a MX5
See my post about tracking these cars. Stock, they are boats and all bark and no bite when there are turns involved. I would hesitate take an 86 to the drag strip, conversly taking base Challengers and Camaros stumble about a technical track isn't that fun if you really want to run with genuine sports cars. That being said, handling and braking can be tuned on these cars with a higher ceiling than an NA 86. Totally different customers like you said. It's a shame we don't have more options, the Supra 2.0 is closer in price, but still in another price category.

Cost is the biggest factor here. A 255hp Toyota sports car would be more expensive and need turbo etc... more weight... that already exists in the Supra 2.0 at $43k.

To appreciate a car like this you need to understand the thrill of driving at 10/10th on the track...that is something that most (including myself) are incapable of doing in their high powered and pricey cars because of lack of skill/fear of crashing. I often enjoy a track day in a spec miata more than my f80. Our cars have gobs of available torque whereas a car like this require exploiting the engine by maintaining the revs. Momentum cars are fun. I want one.

I hope the information regarding it being sold in the EU is correct. Or else we're damn screwed.

I wonder if the piece behind the front fender, between the vent and the fender is removable. If it is, might see some elaborate vent replacement pieces come out.

Live pics look better than the press release pics.

I think the indoor lighting was really poor during the unveiling. The car definitely looks better outside with natural sunlight.

Feel it's too soft on styling. Lack of factory hot rod version yet in US I see sales going away. Nice to have a fun tossable car but having to rely on aftermarket support for a HP/Tq infusion kinda bites.
