mcolangelo2005 0 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 So, it's silly season and I'm planning on building a car to compete in TT5. The Honda S2000 appears to be highly competitive in this class but I'm also looking into other platforms such as the 2019+ ND2 Miata. Unfortunately, the ND2 Miata appears to fall in the middle of the weight/power band for TT5. How competitive are these cars in TT5? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tansar_Motorsports 5 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 If you can max out the power/weight ratio, should be competitive. Other top cars include: NC miata, BRZ/FRS/GT86, RX8, BMW's, newer civics. The one downside is that I believe ND miatas take a penalty (altered roofline) when you install a hardtop, since it was not an OEM option, unlike the NC miata, S2000, etc which dont take a penalty. Obviously, a hardtop is needed to reduce your aero drag. This may be outdated info though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcolangelo2005 0 Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Thanks for the reply. I'll have to check on the hardtop penalty. I'm also considering a 2017+ BRZ/86. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tansar_Motorsports 5 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Miata is obviously going to be slightly more reliable, long term. But, I think the BRZ would be slightly more competitive, all things being equal. More chassis rigidity (especially if you aren't going to do a full cage), lower engine CG, etc. We're talking about tiny differences, obviously. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
