1978 Datsun 280Z
HP = 149
Weight = 2875 lbs
0-60 = 9.3 seconds
1/4 mile = 16.7 seconds
Price = $8,878 (adjusted to 2019 dollars = $34,870)
2018 Miata
HP = 155
Weight = 2350 lbs
0-60 = 6.4 seconds
1/4 mile = 14.9
Price = $26,000
I'm sorry but exactly how is the lighter, faster, cheaper, safer, more fun to drive, more reliable, better looking, better handling, better braking, 2018 Miata NOT a sports car in comparison with the 280Z?
