2006 Miata

The '04 MS will generate more torque, thus more power over a wide rev range. It'll only be at 6000+ (maybe 6500+) where the '06 makes more power. Plus, as has been written, the '04 has the stiffer, more athletic suspension. And some may prefer the interior of the NB to the NC's (I do). Looks are even more subjective. OTOH, I do prefer the NC's increased chassis stiffness and refinement. And I too am not particularly a turbo fan. To each his own. |

Not quite. http://flyinmiata.com/tech/dyno_runs/NC_vs_MSM.pdf The 2006 makes more power than the Mazdaspeed below 4000 rpm, and again above 6200. However, the intermediate range where the Mazda speed has higher power is the most important for acceleration, and I would not want to race one.
