Hell yea. I don't drive a Miata for two reasons. 1. I don't fit and my big as foot presses both the clutch and brake at the same time (fun times as a valet). 2. Not a huge fan of South Beach, FLA and my fam would want to move me there if I got a Miata.Ok, I'll explain.
It's NOT about putting down the most power. It's not a drag car; not everybody drag races. It's about it being a fun car and a car that can handle well. To name a couple that fits in this category(low power, good handling or handling potential, and rwd); the AE86 Corolla, KP61 Starlets, Miatas, Cappuccino, MR2/MR-S(although I would exclude the SW20), 510, etc. The S2000 and Z3/Z4 can probably be thrown into that bunch also.
Hell, Spec Miata's are beasts and most of them are under 150hp. If you want a lot of power and RWD, you're looking at the wrong class of cars.

the AWD setup actually descreases the acceleration because of the drag from the motor or what most people call drivetrain loss. The point given, that the power would be the same on the ground given the , awd, rwd, fwd idea, the rwd still wins.so where's subie's half of this deal???
