It is slower, but sometimes it isn't about speed. That's why the miata is great.
Would I trade my z for one? No, it's a different beast, I'm a sucker for horsepower and torque.
Would I ever buy one? Yes. For the price nothing new in that range will give you a better driving experience.
Going from that car then hopping into the z, you can quickly feel the weight difference, which is what makes it fun.
It's hard to lose weight but easier to gain horsepower. Once the sti version comes out I'd be glad to switch.

1st: Are you sure you are not the fanboy?
2nd: Again are you sure you have driven one and can actually say it is more responsive? Hell there is a review on here talking about the lack of responsiveness in the frz. The Z's steering is hydro where as the frz is electronic is it not? How do you get realistic feel back into your hands when it is electronic?
3rd: Yes the miata is great, but not so much out the box again when compared to the Z or more exspensive cars that are built with performance in mind from the factory.
4th: Why would I buy something only to have to do MAJOR WARRANTY DENYING MODS to make it really fun to drive?
5th: I do agree with the speculative sti version, but till it hits the streets, we still dont know anything really about it besides specualtion.
6th: I snagged my base sport with 19k on the clock for the same price, so for the price, there is much better options available right now. But then again mine isnt brand new, but I do still have a 7yr 100k bumper to bumper warranty. So with that being said 0k vs 19k miles are irrelevant when you get on a track.
