Don't get me wrong, miatas are fun, but they don't nearly compare to e30s. On or off the track.Hank Ahrens

Plus e30 prices are raising, while Miatas can be had dirt cheap.
Don't get your pantys in a bunch because someone says a Miata makes a better track rat than an e30.Last edited by Exodus_2pt0; 11-08-2015, 09:57 AM.No E30 ClubOriginally posted by MrBurgundyAnyways, mustangs are gay and mini vans are faster than your car, you just have to deal with that.

Or compare SM to PRO3.
Your results may vary depending on where you are in the country. But then, when you make the jump from track day (bro) to spec or single model racing, the car is not as important versus the rest of the field/competition.

Comparing SE30 to SM, it depends on the track.
The SE30 has a little more brake and low end torque vs a SM. So we can ever so slightly outbrake them, and get a little bit more of a jump out of the corner, so you are talking maybe a second or two.
Like I said, it really depends on the track. They are both somewhat momentum cars, so carrying speed through the corner is paramount, but the M20 does give a little help if you have to scrub some speed mid corner for whatever reason.
That being said, SM will make up for it by bump drafting out of corners. It's something I think they teach on day 1 of your first SM race - Bump Drafting out of every corner.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)
