It is true a race prepped Miata is hard to beat around a track, but a race prepped e46 or 135 will destroy one on a track.
I am by no means the best driver, but even my slow 135 laps all those spec Miatas. The only Miata that keeps up with me is a FM turbo'd Miata on hoosiers, so it's not a great comparison.
I will say that the N54 is really easy to gain big power and in order to do that in an e46 you'd either have to build the motor or go forced induction which is super expensive. With the 1 your money could be spent in stages to upgrade each specific issue i.e., brakes, susp, lsd, rather than big chunks of money at a time. Also those parts tend to be easier to DIY if your up for it. Either way great cars and imho easier to drive than a s2000 on a track. S2000's seem very razors edge and not forgiving at all, although for some people that makes them fun. Resale wise anything with an M badge will hold its value better.
