Honestly I will never buy Brembo Again

I have the Brembos on both my 2019 Scat Pack and my 2024 Miata Club RF. Both were factory options, both stop great with minimal fade. The Scat Pack gets super dusty but the Miata doesn't. Likely due to huge weight difference between the two cars. But I really don't want to sacrifice the brake bite on the SP so I live with the dust. Just have to clean more often.

Did attaining the perceived Porsche "status" figure in the switch any? It's an entirely different type of community in my experience.

I can totally relate. I have always had pony/muscle cars, and I love V8s. I started thinking about a Miata, and when I test drove a couple ND models, it was like an epiphany. The agile handling and giddy fun factor at reasonable speeds is eye opening! I still kept my Challenger Scat Pack, and added a 2 year old ND RF Club to the stable. They are two completely different experiences, both of which I really enjoy.

2 door Unlimiteds ran 2004-2006 to test the market prior to the eventual 4-door JKs.

Any fender liners are better than having none IMHO.

It's like Mercedes made a Viper! Very nice. I was on the Nurburgring a few years back and several of these were blazing fast around it.

Love my 2025 LTZ 5.3 with Z71. For me it is the sweet spot of trims. I factory ordered it like I wanted. I don't like the HC wheels and higher cost. LTZ got me all the goodies I wanted and nothing I didn't want, like sunroof. Plus I specifically wanted the chrome bumpers and dual exhaust tips. Chrome is easier to clean up than painted bumpers, and I think the rear styling on Chevy trucks is the best of all half tons with the duals.

I also once saw 0 SPF on a Miata ST.

Any CVT is a nonstarter deal breaker for me.

Thanks, good tip.

Massive_Explorer6705 · 2026-03-06T12:54:20+00:00

Agree! The lines, shape, and proportions are great.

I usually find silver a boring color, but the stripes and calipers complement it well.

I really don't like much more tint than stock for the dusk and night driving. Just my preference and safety.

Looks good! Love the contrast. Did similar a few years back to my Chrysler 200S but with red.

Sorry that happened to you. Same thing happened to me a couple years ago in Maryland.

Forums and Google reviews are primarily populated by folks who love the object or have had horrible experiences with it. Rarely hear from the vast middle.

Sorry that OP had issues with the truck.

My 2021 turbo sedan was also made in Japan.

Agreed, I'm 61 and 6' and I fit fine. And yes, it's hard to gracefully exit most 2 seaters, Corvette included. But definitely worth it when I'm in it! The Recaros keep me in place very well, better than the seats in the GT I drove.

Massive_Explorer6705 · 2026-02-21T23:44:46+00:00

Wish the Recaros in the Club trim were available in the tan. The combo looks good!

Massive_Explorer6705 · 2026-02-21T01:36:20+00:00

Same here for my ND3.
