Quite interesting Top 50 drivers cars!

The list doesn't seem that weird to me, I am surprised the Miata didn't place higher and that the Lotus Elise didn't place higher. The Type-R is a great track car.

Depends on the Miata, honestly. Between my Dad's '06 Miata and my Evo, the Evo wins on driving comfort hands down. Steering ratios are damn similar, pedal and gearbox feel are great on both, but the seats in the Miata, which has the Grand Touring package no less, are just lackluster as far as comfort goes.

I'd take the Evo for every single possible driving desire save for cruising with the top down, for obvious reasons.

Give me a gen 2 MazdaSpeed version, however, and it's game on.

The Lotus 2-Eleven isn't street legal (here) but I'm curious how it'd compare to the 340r. I've seen reviews where they've said it is faster than the Caterham but they like the driving dynamics of the Caterham better.

The Type R and NSX made it though, NSX is also a damn fun car to drive, but the overly long 5-speed gearing made it feel sluggish. The Type R is also fun but it's still a FWD econobox at heart.

Its too bad we never got the NSXR here, its sposed to have waaay more aggressive ratios.

After driving the NSX my two biggest complaints were gearing ratios (5-speed) and a cramped driver's footwell.

There are many different options to change out ratios, or swap in 6spd's. Or you can just add power, then the gearing is perfect. :nod:

Haven't seen you around. Glad to see you aren't locked up.

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, Miata's are a hell of a lot of fun, for little money.

I approve of that list. There are some cars that do seem odd, but there's more to driving a car than having a billion horsepower, tires wider than a barn and electronic gadgetry that makes the space shuttle look like a science fair project.
