Oops, that got away from me. My Mustang did, because of the Torsen rear differential. Helical gear torque-biasing differentials seem to run quite a bit hotter than open differentials or clutch-type limited slip differentials.
I can't imagine a Miata needing an oil cooler for the differential, though, unless it was making a great deal of power.

I don't know, Peter. After tracking both the Miata and the S-car, I'd
say it's a hell of a lot more fun to track the Miata than it is to be
different - lol
That said, with right attitude any car can be tons of fun on the
track. One of the most fun track days I've ever had involved a
significant amount of seat time in a rented Chevy Impala.
As for modding a car for the track, unless you are a first class
fabricator like Haydn and you have the patience of a saint, I'd skip.
It took me 2 or 3 seasons to get the supercharged Miata sorted
out...only to abandon it for another Miata that is basically stock
with a cage. Robert Caro can attest to this. His car is a beast, but
it is seriously modded. Anyone else running a cooler and pump system
for their rear diff?

I think you are missing the point.
sometimes its fun to be different, otherwise everyone would be driving
Miatas or GT3s.
Look at what Hadyn Taylor did to an unassuming former rally car from
Sprongl's 4 star racing.
