I never said a Miata was gay. My story involved a 20 year old rolling up on my RX-7, tailgating me, falling behind and accelrating up on me as fast as he couls and basically taunting me while I laughed at him. Sort of like a Chiwawa picking on a Pit bull.
I had toyed with doing a 13BT swap into a Miata. That was after I drove a supercharged 320RWHP Miata and was very impressed. I also like the Mazdaspeed Miata a lot and would consider that too. But I liked the supercharged one better and think Mazdaspeed should do that too.

Why SC over TC? I always thought and felt TC was the better way to go...
And usually only see SC with domestics.

Well, its true..is it not?
Except for the MKI Mr2, I mostly think Domestic when I hear SC. 300zx/Rx7/Supra all TT.
Mustangs and Camaro's are always supercharged, 03 Cobra comes with one no?
And due to the way they spool and the capabilities of, I always read that TC had the edge, while they may take longer to spool at times they can endorse more power, better.
Oh well.

each and every application is different. There is no saying "turbos are better" or "superchargers are better."
It also comes down to driver preference
