If S2K gets on the list, then Miata belongs as well. I own a Mazdaspeed Miata. Underrated fun. Once I get a MBC, I can up the boost.
I guess I just don't see them as comparable. One had a 9k rpm screamer, the other had a 323GTX Motor that lost its turbo (which the MS didn't nearly replicate). Both are fun cars, I've owned a few Miatas, but if we're just talking motors, not the whole package, the Honda is miles better.
