oh you have a 4x4, thats cute.
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.

I was trying to get home from work in my old '97 in heavy rains and flooding once. My normal route home was blocked so I tried an alternate. I got a long way through the water until I got to a point where I thought it might be too deep, so I pulled to the center (turn lane) and watched some other stuff go through. As I was sitting there watching, as trucks and other cars came through and caused a wake, I could feel the back of my miata float off of the ground and then the rear tires touch back down after the wave went past. I decided to give it a pass and backed up into a parking lot.
