Even the stock ones look like a lot of fun.

They are, not a lot of power but they weigh almost nothing and you can pound on them.

Though I do think they look awesome with over fenders and a hard top

http://www.speedhunters.com/2012/11/...-for-take-off/
http://www.speedhunters.com/2010/04/...azda_roadster/

All very awesome examples, though none could run in Spec Miata :/ less I kept stock spares and swapped them out then swapped everything back for time attack/street

The silver one in the first link is sick! It's a PITA switching things back and forth.

Agreed, the silver one is what made me even consider a Miata.

Yeah, so many choices...

I have only hit the limiter once and it was in first. But I was to busy looking at the road to see what it was. I have also hit the limiter in the cruze in second but again have no idea where it is. I will rarely look at my Tach while driving. For the most part, all of my shifiting is done by sound.

Agreed, I know when to shift by sound and feel, no need to look down

and just sent money for the throttle controller! Mod buying is fun

Nice. I've been reading about the throttle controller and I might have to buy one!
