"Fieros handle like its on rails"

"suspension mods and tires and nothing can outhandle it"

"1.17 g's"

"no replacement for displacement"

You will notice the miata can outbreak the fiero, as well as outhandle it in the twisties!!! Miata would always gain and pass or pull ahead in the twisties. I am scratching my head here because I just don't get it. FYI this is an 88 with the "better brakes and suspension"

Too bad Miatas are so gay lol.

I actually have a prepped AutoX Turbo NA sitting in my shop right now. Handled like a mofo, 3800SC fiero was faster in a straight line.

The weight advantage of the Miata is an advantage. Driver ability can also makes a big difference. Some suspension tuning on the Fiero will help turn in. I liked using a technique similar to the front wheel drive cars. Go into the turn a little fast and use trail braking and drop throttle oversteer to rotate the car. This was on a stock class 88 Fiero with limited suspension modifications.
