Thanks for the replies, the MX5 cup car is actually the performance target for the next car. The video's praise on brake feel is specifically is what I'm looking for. Just wonder how many folks drive their cars long distances to tracks. It will be 2-6 hr drives for me, figure it would be no worst than on a motorcycle. My Miata is usually up on stands the day after a track day and I give everything a once over, with the 7 ever less stuff in the way.

Appreciate the prompt response, I'll be sure to get in touch with Bob when / if needed.

Trying to decide if a 7 is the next step for a track day / fair weather toy. I've been running a Miata on track for about 10 years now with 100+ track days, do my all own wrenching that doesn't involve opening a motor or transmission. Going to keep the Miata for my kid to learn the basics and am trying to decide between a Caterham or an Elise. For the folks that track their cars often, does being on the wrong side of the pond create any issues with getting consumables or parts? Also, any drivetrains that are more suitable for track use and ones to avoid? Reliability, serviceability/replacement cost, speed, in that order. Thanks, appreciate any and all advice related to tracking and comparison to the Elise as well.

Congrats on getting the SB100. I'm in Socal as well and just started looking (again for 10th time), which DMV office did you go through? Did it take 18 months for the whole process?
