Well the 350z would win then you(if you are stock)and the Miata would still be at the start.

Oh how sweet it would be to own such an underrated car...news flash: power to weight is almost identical between the MS Miata and SS/SC with only a slight advantage to the SS/SC depending on options on each and driver weight. Driver's race more or less. Doesn't take more than light mods (read: intake/exhaust) for the MS version to take a stock SS/SC.

350z was hott **** when it came out, now everyone bashes them. They got hyped a lot and don't live up to all of that, extremely nice cars. Only a couple grand more than the Cobalt, I should've bought one haha.

The SS/SC would eat a Mazdaspeed MX-5 for lunch! It is significantly slower.
