This thread was nothing short of pure awesome. Sticky nomination!

My car gets 35 mpg consistently, is a convertible yet WONT get stolen or parts stolen from it ever, is a DOHC Jap 4 banger, is almost as torqueless, but most of all its RWD....whos driving the "gay" car now?

Want to compare power output? K, first you need to swap your engine, I'll wait. While I'm waiting, my engine is non-interference, has oil squirters, and is 90%+ identical to a turbocharged car that was released from the factory, so its built for it. Not only is RWD better, but so are longitudinal engines. Want to V8 your Honda? Get back to me on that. Mine has kits readily available for roughly the same what it costs you to swap to get 10-20 HP

And this is all from a car I bought solely because I made a little promise that "if somehow a Miata shows up at a BMW dealership thats manual, I'll buy it"

Imagine what the car I did research on before buying is like!
