MX-5: 99.4

So, it's 2nd fastest car around the track? That's really all I needed to see. Even with all the "problems" they encountered with the 370Z it still went around this track faster than the 1st place evo (and by almost a second)?

See now, just seeing those times alone should make you question how C&D does their tests. They bitch about the oil and braking issues (and yes, they can be problems), but then the car goes off and gets 2nd place in the times that matter, the track.

I like the evo, and I like the Z. If you own either you are definitely not "losing". They are both really solid cars. However, everyone seems to skip over the fact that even the tranny on the evo did, in fact, overheat as well. Why does everyone ignore that fact?

Am I mad at Nissan for not putting an oil cooler on the car? Sort of, but even in south florida when having fun on open roads, I have yet to hit limp mode. Hell, I have yet to go over 220 degrees in my year + owning the car.
