Go say that at an auto-x track and get laughed at. The miata destroys most cars in the twisties. Oh yeah, and it's the best selling sports car of all time if that tells you anything.

And is that why outside of the Honda community the S2000 is nicknamed the "pissed off miata?"

I've always liked the Miata and I had a lot of fun when I drove one, but for some crazy reason it has always been associated with the gay community. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

As stupid as it sounds, it's something that actually bothered me when I was considering buying a used Miata a few years back.

ha ha...it is cars.com, not some gay website, freak

Anyway, how can a car be sexual? Sure you may see certain people driving them, but I have seen some MX-5s that are putting down over 200 rear wheel HP, are modded for the track and no one would ever think that a "gay" guy drives them. Damn good track cars.

It's not that the car is "gay" or anything like that. Not mention it's kinda wierd that you would say that a gay guy wouldn't want to drive a fast car... Why not?

The reason people say that they're "gay" cars(which is stupid BTW) is simply because they seem to very popular among gay men. Miatas ARE nice track cars, which only reinforces the stereotype that most gay men have good taste! LOL!

It's funny the S2000 is the "pissed of miata".

The Miata would get RAPED by any S2000 stock on stock.

In a Car and Driver comparison test the S2000 beat out a TT, Z4, Boxster and the new 350Z Roadster. (In that order TT being last 350Z being 2nd).

Talk about owned.

I'm looking for a 92-94' Miata to enter in to some SCCA autoX's in my area. Does this make me gay or a girl since so many of my friends/co-workers claim it to be a "girl's car"??!! And WTF is a "girl's car" anyway ?!

I think the new beetle is the #1 gay car. It comes with a freaking flower holder. How gay is that.

Well no ****, but if we're on the topic of "the miata is a gay/lesbian's car" it's mainly because of the styling. Nobody said the Miata was a contender against the S2K. They were simply commenting on the styling cues of both cars.

/sigh

okay...back to the straight line mentality of racing. For all you drag racers out there, yes, the S2K is faster than the MX-5... lease: Someone didn't read the design concept behind the MX-5.

for everyone saying its a "girl car" or a "gay car"...the civic isnt all that macho. i would get a miata over a civic any day...in fact, thats one of the cars im considering to replace the civic after my lease is up.

i still dont get how a car can be gay or straight, but whatever. some of you people really need to get your head out of your ***.

i wasn't talking about straight line. I honestly think an S2000 could take it in the twisties. But then again I could be wrong.

It's obvious the S2000 would kill it at he strip due to the like 85 more horses.

I also don't see the S2000 being gay I think the 04's look like they are ready to gobble you up and then **** you out. lol.

The Miata is a nice car with a fairly low starting price for FR car. I would take a used one anyday... Anyone can own one but the car reflects the owners personality, which would easily be seen if the interior were pink or something...

I don't think you can say a car is really "gay" or "straight".. You could think those all-motor muscle cars are mucho male, but since it's usually men that are into those cars you could think of that as being a "sausage fest" and that too could be gay!
I just think I could see a secretary driving a miata, that's all..

I'm considering driving a Mini Cooper S when my lease is up.. And a page back it was one of those "gay" cars! You get the right mods for that and it can gobble many cars either in a straight line or all of the twistie turnies!

See the mentality? I said nice things about a Miata and now I'm gay. I'll admit that it's a completely superficial and stupid reason, but it was that mentality that steered me away from a great used Miata I was ready to buy.

Oh well, I ended up a happy member of the "Civic Nation" LOL!
