The reviews are excellent. Sure its not a ZO6 but what is. I will drive it and recommend you do the same. Amazing what actual driving can do.

So what's the out the door price on a Nismo Z? 42k? And you only get 350 hp? Guess my point is that it isn't ALL about peak horsepower.

I will say if I ever bought a Miata, I'd be looking into a supercharger on day one.
