Mr Bender is correct - not everything is about power.
A black naturally aspirated na MX5 is the quickest car at the Autotest's that the MX5 club runs at the RAC Driving Centre.
Keeping all the turbo and supercharged cars behind - just.

A bit different on the longer track there - it can keep all but a full on race car set up turbo MX5 and a V8 MX5.
Not bad for 160hp atw's.

On a big track or the open road it is a different matter - would get left behind.

Mr Bender, why dont you pop on out to the RAC centre on the 22nd to see 25-30 MX5's racing around the cones in round 5 of our Autotest series.

Warwick is such a humble man. :mrgreen: He just forgot to mention that he is an awesome driver and can outdrive most Elises/EVOs around the tight corners at the Autotests. 8)

The point about coming out to the club's Autotest or Sprint competition even to just have a look is worthwhile. In my most biased opinion, it is the best run and value grassroots motorsports available in WA. :wink:

At the very least, you should attend the next coffee meet this month to chat with other MX5 owners/enthusiasts. :beer:
