My demented logic on car safety:
At a certain speed LIMIT everybody either: 1) Dies a gruesome death or 2) Has enough luck to survive and immediately go buy a lotto ticket. Under that LIMIT, damage is too close to make me base my SOLE decision on merely safety. I'll take my chances and live the 99.999999998% of my life enjoying my drive with an affordable rocket and not worry every minute about some nitwit t-boning me.
Miata? 1) No arguments about chassis. #1 value regardless of class. 2) ALL subjective, but when they decide to make the car not look effeminate or like a flatten Jelly Belly, I'll be first at the dealer. 3) Given #2), explain to me where I can get a 7 year/70k mile warranty with this turbo addition that doesn't utterly screw-up the powertrain balance - sorry, but I'll trust the OEM validation process over 99% of the aftermarket anyday. Oh, yeah... pray tell how much more does a turbo add to an already ridiculous $23k car like the Miata? $5k? Why wouldn't I just get an S2k for a few pennies more?
