NA might be less slippery on the front straight at Road America than the NB and thus the less favored car for veteran spec miata driver ... but it does tend to push a nice bow wave through the mud ....
RE71Rs in the wear bars are FANTASTIC mudding tires. no tread squirm here!
flash flood level raining + about half a mile of my street under construction, full rebuild down below the sub grades so there is litterally nothing there, no gravel, no nothing, just mud. as deep as the water gets into the ground, MUD.
almost got stuck. that NA and i have been through tougher, shes a champ. best car i've ever owned by any possible measure.
