Yeah definitely in different leagues (and for arguments sake I'm going to compare a 2l mx5 to a S2000)
The S2000 is c. £27,000 new, Front 2.0 16v engine, rear wheel drive via a 6 speed manual. 1260kg, average 28mpg, 240bhp, 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, 150mph top speed
The MX5 is c. £20,000 new, Front 2.0 16v engine, rear wheel drive via a 6 speed manual. 1132kg, average 36mpg, 156bhp, 0-60 in 7.6 seconds, 136mph top speed
They are also similar size both inside and out.
So yeah totally different cars.
I still stand by my remarks that the MX5 would be a great car if the S2000 didnt exist and the S2000 is the car the MX5 wishes it was
They maybe similar on paper but Chris you've obviously not had any real experience of the two? They are very different cars in many aspects, regardless of what you're gonna reply with.
