2004 Audi A4 1.8T CABRIO

[Jay M]

Nothing against the V8 Miatas AKA Monster Miatas but IMHO they handle like sheet. I modded my wife's Miata with an Eaton supercharger (no lag and more reliable than turbos), adjustable Koni yellows with stiff 500/350 Ground Control adjustable coil overs and that car will outhandle my UrS6 and 911 any day of the week. The V8 changes the handling characteristics of the stock nimble, go cart-like Miatas.
