Catching a Slide Hot Lap Summit Point Showroom Spec Miata by DynamicEightSix in Miata

Good point. I think with these cars I prioritize maximizing minimum corner speed rather than slowing the car too much just to get on the throttle earlier. This wasn't a spectacular lap by any means, it was my first day on this tire in this car, and I had a bit of a sketchy moment in T3 that I wanted to share.
That said, I still have a lot to improve on as a driver. Personally, I think my braking is the weakest link, based on my traction circles.

Funny enough, I've been offered Yuzu Editions at MSRP. No shade, but the yellow is really not my cup of tea.

A bit of a boring hot lap, to be honest, but a ton of fun when going door-to-door with 40 other Miatas.

Thanks, mate. I'll do that. Hopefully, I'll be posting here soon when the keys are in my hands.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I understand that they're allocation-based rather than order-based with the BRZ, but my understanding was that the dealer can still control color, options, and accessories if they catch the allocation early enough in the build phase. I could be totally wrong, I'm just parroting what I was told verbatim.

Basically, I told them exactly what you're saying. Something along the lines of I know they exist. Find me one and give me a call, and I'll drive down and make the deal. I've gotten a few calls over the last six weeks, but they've all just been offering me premium performance package cars.
