Tesla v Miata on Twisty Course. Very different cars, nearly identical times.

That's awesome! My last car was an ND Miata I don't miss it a bit.

That's funny - the Miata driver was driving that thing like a Miata! Freakin' thrashing it right to the limit in every way possible.

Meanwhile the Tesla driver seemed like he was just going out for milk and accidentally ended up on some weird curvy road. I'm not even sure he knew he was on a track?

I have a track prepped MX5 (no swap) and just ordered an M3P. I will be quite disappointed if the Tesla is not considerably faster on track.

That is a very twisty course though. And that MX5 driver was having a lot more fun!

Very cool video. I come from owning two ND Miatas myself

Hoping to autocross the 3 this spring.

I see what the issue is, the driver in the Tesla weighs 1600 pounds more than he should.

I had an NB Miata before the Tesla. I thought it was easier to drive at the/my limit.

Yeah, I miss my NC - especially in the twisties!
