The ND feels smaller inside than my friend's NBs. It's weird.

My son may need to look at an NC Miata because they are more spacious. I love the NC too, but I think after experiencing the power of the ND2, I realized I need more power. I know they have turbos and SCs for those cars, but I want the fun car to be reliable. I'm constantly working on my friend's turbo NB Miatas. When they are running right though, wow, what a fun freaking car.
NC's with a full exhaust, intake, and tune are dramatically peppier than stock. You also just slightly upgrade the injectors and the fuel pump still has enough capacity to run an E85 tune which is worth a huge midrange bump and 10-15whp up top.

Only problem I see is the price of clean NCs at the moment.
