- Tried to catch a Audi R8, sadly the below freezing temps and gravel kept the Miata from showing its true pace. Doubt it would have done much against an R8 anyways.
Good Times - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Beautiful drive. Gotta love the panicked takeoff by the Audi driver.
The R8 driver was waiting for that 🔥💀
he TURNED around to chase, INITIAL D style!
I have a very fond memory of chasing a then new Acura NSX in my NA Miata through the back roads on the east coast. He was so pissed that he couldn’t get away from me on that twisty road, i was just feet from his bumper, threatening to pass him on the inside of the corners (had their been room). We finally hit a straight road after 20-30 minutes and he went around a line of cars over a double yellow to escape! Memory from way back in 1991….
Haha awesome!! I have some great memories from my ole 93 NA Miata, they're great cars
lmao, challenging an r8 to a touge in a miata, you're a braver man than i.
Just had to give it a go! It was at least nice to hear it's V8 roar as it pulled away on the straights. Haha
@@GoDriveMX5 You had a better car than him. R8 is great for tracks, but it’s too powerful for road in my opinion.
@@gliderfs621 Imo R8 v8 is nowhere close to too much power for the road. If anything, it's a bit slow depending on the road.
Do you mean too heavy for the road?🤣@@gliderfs621
I got some Need For Speed 3 vibes from this :) Beautiful cars and great scenery, combined with fast driving!
Lol instant touge battle love it
Yep, he knew what was up.
What a perfect road, dangerous downhill
Nice driving. This road is less frozen than I was expecting!
Ya no ice, just a lot of gravel
Nice driving!!
Thank ya!
Mint driving
NFS Carbon vibe right here
God I miss this car so badly, so sad that they don't sell it in my country. Can't wait to go to the us and rent one of them again.
Why not?
@@gerardosalas9477 Mazda left my country (brazil) in the 90's because of excessive taxes.
Snow, all season or summer tires?
Wish I had roads like that in my area.
Enjoy.
Summer
What road is that?
Where is this? Love the scenery
Colorado
What's the elevation? Did it lose some power due to thinner air?
About 6k feet. Lowest I've had it is 5k so I'm not really sure.
Of course there’s a Crosstek, self-proclaimed gatekeeper of safe driving, sucking fun out of other’s lives. 😢
Man, it looks cold there. You should get leather driving gloves and a scarf
Mx5s aren't quick but they seem quick as you just point and squirt them into corners.
Squirt squirt
What year is this Mazda Miata?
'22
@@GoDriveMX5 nice I just got a 2021 jet black RF fun car in the mountains ⛰️
I would have backed out just because of all the rocks hitting the car
Do you have an aftermarket exhaust?
Yep, Goodwin superstreet single
Nah man. That R8 would have too much of an edge I think even in better conditions.
You may have a chance to catch the R8 if it's going downhill.
Where.
@@GoDriveMX5 Could you share? Is this trailridge - do you to RM scca? Such a great vid
I’d choose the Miata over that Audi everyday even if money wasn’t a concern. He might be faster but you were definitely had more fun.
I've driven that car and it's debatable, it's V8 with the gated manual is plenty of fun. Just a different type of fun. Also has a shocking amount of corner exit grip that's fun to play with.
@@GoDriveMX5manual is different story. I agree with you there!
I was just enjoying the video and I literally shouted what a Dick at 3:33 ! Now I am scared that what if one day I am just simply enjoying driving in my Miata and someone chase and pressure me just because I am driving a sport car ?
He literally stopped and waited, we had a good chat after and went on several drives together.
If you ever feel uncomfortable with someone behind you just use one of the many pulloffs for letting faster traffic by.
R8 was too fast 🤣
You know, miata is not a fast car. but a fun car especially on curvy road
It’s an Auto….Agggggggggghhhhggg
Both the cars in this video are manuals buddy
What video did you watch?
