2024 Mazda ND3 Miata vs 2008 Mazda NC1 Miata - Head to Head Review!

I believe the NC easily provides the most bang for buck of all Miata generations with its ~170hp and 2500lbs. On the other hand, a brand new fully loaded ND3 RF with BBR package costs over $42K, or 3-4 times as much as a decent NC, and only provides marginally more power at nearly the same weight. Let's see if it's really worth such a huge premium.

NC1 mod list:
Sakebomb Öhlins 9k/5k
Progress heavy front sway bar
Whiteline rear sway bar
G-loc R8 pads
Motul RBF660 fluid
Stainless brake lines
Cypher Miata steering wheel with super Miata hub
Jass seat lowering bracket
Miata roadster short shifter
Aftermarket pedals
