As a prologue to my post:
1) I have never driven/ridden on a road course.
2) The only car I've ever driven is my Eclipse.
So I went to Atl Motor Speedway to check it out today, even though it rained last night because I expected the crowd to be small. I drove the RX-8 (wow, no torque, but I love revving that thing) and the MazdaSpeed Miata.
I have determined that my next car will be a Miata. Holy crap this thing handles amazing. I can only hope that my 7 will handle half as well as this thing did.
If any of you have been before, you know the course is setup for you to not speed. Well, I was on the gas as much as possible, even though I was afraid of hitting cones (refer to section 1 above). I drove it around twice, the second time losing traction around a few turns. My only complaint with this car is that you can't really feel the turbo until around 5000rpm, WTF?
So I think my next project (as soon as I get my current one running

We were asked to leave for drifting all the turns we could. Said the point was to remain in control.

) will be a 13b into a Miata.
I thought the new MS Miata was supercharged? Is it turbo charged? And I have heard it pushes like 180-190 hp. And they are RWD right? If they look anything like the 2000-2003's I would love to have one. The new ones look like an FD in the front and rear. I usually confuse them for FD's , then I see that it is a vert.
