But it's not. They don't even bother to try and do some of the simple weight savings that Mazda has done on the Miata since year one and now it only has a small power margin over the WRX...

As I said, the R model should be significantly lighter and faster than the WRX... Only the L gets the amenities...

I want a true street legal rally car, not a marginally souped up street car with big brakes and fender flares.

A real front suspension would be a start along with a lighter stiffer chassis with more power...
