    Thanks everyone for the great feedback, and thanks to the team at The Slip Angle! It was unparalleled fun putting the car through its paces on the twisty CT roads for this series.
    A lot of questions will be answered in the upcoming videos so I won't divulge the spoilers here...contact us via our site if you have specific questions that can't wait before ordering one for yourself!

I loved the way it was killing the Corvette guys at the track in the straightaways, and they couldn't do anything but lose ground. Ultimate sleeper car. Interested in the handling and track experiences so far band dyno and lap times. C'mon Lawrence, please, tell me more!

      I heard from the internet it's about $75k in addition to the cost of a donor car (brand new RF starts at $36k, but I guess you could find a used one for less than that). So all told $100-120k before tax. Maybe a lot higher if my source was off. Which obviously puts it in competition with some big name manufacturer cars like the Z06 and 911 but I think this looks way cooler. The current gen Miata's styling is so underrated IMO, if it were any non-Japanese manufacturer people would be saying it's one of the sexiest cars being sold right now.
