Good point!I keep thinking about what Thomas of Throttle House said as he was driving the Emira. He said that he prefers the Emira over every exotic sportscar he has ever driven. That tells me that there is alot more to the "feel" of the Emira than I can imagine, given that I have not driven one.
Yeah but the Miata is slow due to lack of power. The Emira has the same power as a GTS 4.0 yet is several seconds slower on a 1:30min track. Guess we will have to wait and see. I am not gonna pull the trigger just yet.I believe more Miatas are tracked than any other street car. Obviously they are not the fastest, but they are fun, both on the track and on the steet.
Spot on! It's what I will do with my Emira...nitron, forged wheels, sharper geometry, loose some weight...as in me and the car.Tinkerās shack is my new favorite expression.
I suspect the turn-in can be improved on Emira with some alignment tweaks, which is a very popular mod on Elise/Exige. Basically Lotus tunes a bit more center tracking and a bit more understeer. Iāve driven Elise and Exige before and after these alignment adjustments and turn-in goes from good to lazer-sharp amazing.
The problem right now is that you can't even custom order a 718 GT4 unless you're a VIP Porsche customer. And If I'm going to spend big bucks a new car, I certainly don't want to buy pre-owned unless I absolutely have no choice and the car is a must have. Right now, the GT4 isn't a must have. I may sing a different tune if 2 years from now my Emira wait list doesn't become a solid delivery order.The 718 GT4 I was testdriving was 115k vs a new Emira 112k

Ah ok thx for the correction.You can't order a GT4 at all, ever. They're done. The 4RS will be produced for a while longer, but near impossible to get without $100k+ ADM... then it's all about the EV Cayman.
You even have a chance for a GT4 RS at list price without ADM in Switzerland. 170k for a GT4 RS.if you wanted a GT4 in switzerland you could get one. You dont need to be a VIP. But like already stated, they dont take anymore orders, its sold out. New GT4 would have been 130k vs 110k for the Emira.

I've got a feeling you'd get absolutely bullied by a stock power Miata in an advanced track day with you driving a GT4, GTS 4.0 or an Emira.
I'm trying to be polite and not trying to insult anyone, but from everything you've stated I think you're just better off in a car that gets great advertised Nurburgring lap times or something. You seem more impressed with what someone else could do in your future car than what you could do in it.
I think that's a damn shame, but I recognize we're not all here for the same reasons.
Why would you insult anyone on this topic and why should there even be a reason to be not polite? Its your opinion and its totally fine by me. You have no idea how I am driving and what I am able to achieve and what not. I did a lot of trackdays in the past but I am not a pro by any means (which I already stated before) but we do have to be realistic here, so no: a stock Miata wont be faster than a GT4 even if walter rƶhrl is driving it. But like I said, its your right to think/believe whatever you want.I've got a feeling you'd get absolutely bullied by a stock power Miata in an advanced track day with you driving a GT4, GTS 4.0 or an Emira.
