*Stock* BRZ or miata lol.

I see so many miatas at my days and they are usually the fastest out there(other than the mclaren on hoosiers) but Im actually surprised 328/128s arnt the next track day cars in numbers. It is a solid car that can be had for cheap now
The problem with Miata or BRZ here is size of an engine. Track I am at is at 5,000ft and it is extremely challenging power wise due to air density and definitely most challenging track in North America when it comes to cooling (I am not aware of any other track that allows open lapping that is at higher altitude).
So, even if engines are slightly modified, more displacement and especially turbo are better. Problem with turbo is of course additional heat and again, cooling at this altitude.
But, I also run stock engine with no power modifications and two child seats in the back
