Since 1989 Mazda has produced there famous Miata which for many was just another little sports car. Although for some they saw it as an opportunity for a great race car. Over the years the MX-5 better known as the Miata has slowly gotten larger under the hood it started with a small 1.8 liter 4cylinder making around 133 bhp which isnt that bad for its weight of 2,350 lbs.
The MX-5 has recently gotten a beefier 2.0 liter with 170 bhp and a much better suspension system. This all was done to try and meet the high standards set by the Honda S2000.
Although the MX-5 has been improved quite a lot the S2000 has left a lot for Mazda to still improve on. The main advantages the Honda has are its 2.0 liter DOHC VTEC engine producing around 240bhp. Its only disadvantage is that its curb weight is about 400 pounds more then the miata. This would be a problem if the S2000 did not have such a massive lead over it in horsepower.
