  1. Tendency to wear out tires, brake pads and discs (in that order)
  2. Exhaust too quiet - needs to be Sharkified
  3. Drinks gas too quickly when living at 7000+ rpm all the time
  4. Front splitter needs replacing after taking speed humps at over 100mph
  5. Everyone wants to drive it
  6. Young beautiful women want to have a ride (don't tell the wife)
  7. Addictive - worse than crack cocaine (so I am told )

Haha I love the answers so far!

I'll add, excessive g's make your passengers nauseous at the track.

Every other morning you have to beat the police to your office / warehouse and pray that the automtic roll door closes before the turn into your street.

Seriously the stock LSD internals are made of brass-can u say crap?
If u track enuf u get undesired and scary rearend wiggle side to side under hard braking and pig slow thru corners-instead of flying thru like a bullet it's "damn where that miata come from?" U really need to check the LSD which covers all reiterrations 6/7. Coolant hoses can blow( that's lotta fun at the track- ie no track sessions after that). Mike
