Depends on how straight the road is, but more important is the driver mod. Miatas can go at insane speeds in curves, but more importantly, with the top down, the sensation of speed is much greater. Same with the lightness of the car. It's funny that you called it weak. It only makes 175 hp or so, but with a light car, you don't need much power. Look at the Lotus Elise. 200hp, light frame, very thrilling car.

The new Mustang handles as well as the Z. You could have gotten the best of both worlds for less money had you simply bought the Mustang, and it would put up better drag times.
