You've gotta have different body proportions than me, but good for you. Enjoy your Miata!

I saw one on the freeway awhile back and thought it was jaw-droppingly badass looking, at least on par with my Z06.

...just my opinion.
Bingo. I have never understood why so many Vette guys complain when there’s a Camaro that can outperform the Corvette.

PART of the reason you are paying so much more for the Corvette is it’s looks!

I personally could NEVER buy a car no matter how great it is, if I didn’t absolutely love the looks of it. example: The GTR. I could care less about the technology it has or what it can do, to me it looks like ****.

I traded in my 16 Camaro for my 17 Stingray. Both are great, I like the stingrays more usable storage space.

The SS Camaro is a cool car but the C7 is just sexy cool. The Camaro is the clear winner for value and the Vette is just nicer to look at, imho. Either car is fun to drive.

I ran consistent 1:53's stock other than pads, tires, and a bigger rear sway to get rid of the built in understeer.
The Miata looks like a clown car, lol.
