I have to agree that comparing a bone stock 128 to a bone stock 135, the 135 is quicker overall.
why.. because ive been beat by them, and drivers with similar weekend warrior experience.
although i can see with the right driver (and not worring about driving the car home because its his daily driver
) i see a 128 putting up quiet a battle. I think that it can slow quicker and carry more into the corner while not sacraficing corner exit.. BUT 135 corner exit is STUPID quick as its in the correct RPM range for power. front straight speed is always 20+ mph faster ..
Like i always said.. one is a better drive if one can drive a slow car fast as opposed to a fast car fast..
p.s. i usually race with my buddy in his Miata.. I enjoy following him because he NEVER brakes ( well you know what i mean ) its such a momentum car that lifting is enough.. very cool to watch .. he also beats my time every event in his S2000.... another blast to watch..
