The 2007 MX-5 is an awesome car. Too bad Mazda didn't give it more power. It handles like it's on rails. The best handling car I have ever driven in my life... I swear to God.

Old video, but it's not surprising.

The lighter car usually has the advantage when it comes to performance anything.

But in all honesty, the stock brakes on the s2k are overrated, at least on my '06. Pedal feel is ambiguous, and it doesn't ever feel like it has that monster bite on the discs.

yep that looks about right. i'm craving new rotors/pads/lines/fluid/bleed. not that i auto-x or track, but it's just nice to feel more braking force.
