I was able to drive a Mazda Miata… the 4th gen Mazda owner and I swapped seats with my GT350.
He drove my Shelby in the curvy roads in North Georgia and I rode shotgun.
We then switched cars and drove the same route as I drove his Miata.
I thought I was getting it through the corners, and looked down at the speedometer, and I was doing the speed limit.
*** I completely understand now***
You have got to drive these things to fully appreciate how great they are to drive.

About a year later, me and 4 other GT350 owners were driving on a straight highway to go hit the twisty curves in North Georgia, and a group of probably 15+ Miatas passed us while also going towards the twisties.
My window was down because Flat Plane Crank noise outside, and I gave a thumbs up to all of the passing Miatas.
Once in the twisties, the GT350 group stopped for your standard photo op, and one of the guys behind me said, “Why were you giving those Miatas a thumbs up? They are no match for our Shelbys.”
I replied, “Drive one… you will fully understand why I did that!”

@Desmolicious Which generation is the “Club Sport“
I am not wise on the Mazda nomenclature…. Just have great respect for those little go-carts!


Oh, congrats on the new Bronco…. These things are a blast.
Sign up for the Bronco Off-Roadeo while you have availability… you will not be disappointed!!!

It is the NC version - 2013 - still looks like new. Only the NC series were available with the power hard top, but frankly every series I driven from the original to the latest have been a blast to drive.

But it is not getting driven because the Bronco is an absolute blast to drive too, plus my dogs can come along! I also feel a lot safer in it - I was t boned in my Wrangler last year by a lady in a Tacoma who ignored her stop sign and all I could think of is I would have been fracked if I was in the Miata.

LOL, those are two VERY different driving experiences!

And that is what makes them great together! Completely different experience.
