Well, I decided that owning a WRX was enough and passed on the new
one. Instead we have a Mazda Speed6 AWD coming next week. Silver, with
black interior.
Read it and weep, Sloco....

274 HP with 280 LBs of Torque
0-60 5.4 seconds
1/4 mile 13.85 seconds
Top Speed 150 MPH Limited
Top Speed 167 MPH Limiter removed

Outhandles the B Spec Subaru Legacy GT, the BMW 330 XI AWD and so on.
Basically it's a WRX, but with more power, speed, traction and
stability control and so on!

How's that lame Lincoln???!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I bought my daughter a new MX5 and unfortunately can't get her out of
it so I can have a drive :-)

Haven't driven the new MX5, but we've owned a couple of Miatas in the past.
Great, fun little cars with handling that could stand a few more ponies up
front. I'm thinking the new car might be about right at--what--170bhp?

I'm helping a friend prodify his Miata (02) for SCCA racing. It should be
ready in about a month, which is a bit behind schedule, considering he's
already missed two events this spring. Should be a competitive car. The
engine has been blueprinted and is producing maximum power and torque,
according to Mazda specs. Tires have been a bit of a problem, but we've
finally settled on some Hoosier slicks, heavily shaved. Also going to use
Hoosier rain tires in the wet.
