    Many years ago I had a chance to drive a Monster Miata. The car was so front heavy that it was a coin toss between plowing into a corner or snap oversteer on turn in under braking, then ridiculously oversteer with little weight over the rear wheels under power. There was no balance to that car whatsoever. With that said, it was the most fucking fun I've ever had in a car at the time haha.

    I was reading on s2ki the other day that one of the members there has a LS Miata that's like 51/49 or 52/48 or something. That's not too bad, all considered.

    Could be the case. This was 10+ years ago, probably early generation MM with the Ford V8.

    SavageGeese is putting out a really good video series on the Miata about the driving dynamics and design/engineering behind the car
