That number is for a 2006 Miata, which is the third gen car. I had a second gen car with a whole different drive train. Still, from some quick research I find that 1st in my Miata would have topped out at 34mph, which isn't that far off. But that speed comes up noticeably faster in the Crossfire.

But regardless, the Miata and Crossfire just flat our feel different. And I suspect VegasLegal's CTS and Crossfire feel very different from one another as well - just any two varying makes and models will. So no matter what you used to drive, you just need to unlearn old habits and relearn new ones. The car ain't gonna change, so you had better, simple as that.



Oh, and how funny that this thread is titled "Zoom zoom" and the first guy to respond is an ex Mazda owner?
