I wanted to drive the Miata turbo but didn't have the patience. The wait was NOT worth it. I stood in line for an hour for a 3 minute test drive in the RX8 and I couldnt even beat on it. I guess the popularity of the event is the worst part about it!
The Mazda3 was a pretty nice car for what it is, but i've definitely been spoiled by my car. The steering response is night and day...you literally had to pitch the 3 into oversteer to get under 29 sec. Being gentle with it certainly was not the fastest way around the course. I coulda been in the mid 27's had I not lifted to try and miss the cone
