Rob your Aero must be a big factor in the faster corners.

It's my custom wing end plates

That's a good point, those Spec Miatas are running naked.

This^^^^^^



Corner speed. S2000 with aero>miata>s2000 without aero.


Even with lower corner entry speed, the s2000 has enough hp advantage to even or pull ahead of a miata by corner exit.



Hoosiers vs ra1s makes the whole comparison pointless.

I wouldn't say pointless, unless you own a Miata

I'm going to try to make the Friday Open Practice next week. It's run by BSR and they accept FATT instructor credit (2). Matt, Mani do you need any track time?

Maybe not pointless but it really becomes an apples vs oranges type of comparison. Hoosiers are just a lot faster than ra1s. Glad to hear your car is back together.
