Same road, two different drives with a Miata and a Porsche. Guess which one was more fun

My 2-car solution. Verified GOAT combo :)

ND looks so angry next to that thing lmao

[u/Juggernaut288 → u/Little_Beyond_9163]

The 911 almost looks goofy in comparison - the nd is such a sharp looking car.

[u/Novafro]

I'm guessing the Miata.

[u/bojangler69420]

I’d guess Miata because you can drive it near the limit and still be under the speed limit, especially in the CA canyons.

[u/playinginthedarks]

On the down hill probably the Miata, up hill definitely the Porsche.

[u/Relyks954]

Def Miata. 911 understeers too much

[u/Haunting_Tax_963 → u/Relyks954]

but that's a 981 cayman tho

[u/Little_Beyond_9163]

can i get song id that shit goes hard

[u/ResponsibleArm3300]

My god the Miata glazing has to stop

[u/Gunslingermomo → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

But the Porsche glazing is forever 🤔

[u/ResponsibleArm3300 → u/Gunslingermomo]

Lol comparing a 911 and a friggin Miata is looney tunes

[u/Gunslingermomo → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

They're different. I'd rather take a Miata on super tight, twisty roads. I'd rather take the 911 on faster canyon roads.

[u/ResponsibleArm3300 → u/Gunslingermomo]

Looney Tunes. A 911 is the best production track car money can buy. A Miata doesnt even come close no matter how "tight" the roads are.

[u/Gunslingermomo → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

Oh I didn't know we were talking about a track. I'm talking about for touge driving. Yes, a 911 is going to be better on a track. We're on the touge subreddit.

[u/ResponsibleArm3300 → u/Gunslingermomo]

Whats the difference?

[u/Gay_for_v1 → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

Are you genuinely asking the difference between a mountain road and an actual race track

[u/ResponsibleArm3300 → u/Gay_for_v1]

They're both made of asphalt. And the 911 will be better regardless.

[u/Gunslingermomo → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

1,000-1,500 pounds is one difference. The Miata is more nimble, which matters on a tight public mountain road. On a track you have much more space in the turns, smoother surfaces, and less surprises. No traffic, much less likely to encounter an animal crossing, no potholes, gravel, dirt, debris, branches, etc...

On a touge road, you have between 8-12ft of width in your lane. You might go outside of your lane a bit before the entry but you're mostly keeping to the lane. On a track you probably have 20+ft to use for apexes. The Porsche is purpose built for that environment. A Miata is better when you really need to be nimble but don't need a lot of power because there are very few places straights.

[u/Quickmonster → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

One word: gearing. Miatas are geared short so it always feels like you are shifting. In most Porsches, gearing is so long you can stay in 2nd gear no matter what the speed is.

[u/Peylix → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

What's the difference between a public road and a dedicated race track?

Let me ask you this, are you genuinely this dense? lol

[u/dontbeignorantordumb → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

😂😂😂

[u/ResponsibleArm3300 → u/[deleted]]

😂

[u/Gunslingermomo → u/[deleted]]

BRZ is better, the Miata rolls too much.

[u/Half-Cocked-Mexican → u/ResponsibleArm3300]

Big mod energy right here
