Fellow fiends:

There is approximately one ice-cube's chance in H**l that this will
come to pass but... I am curious about trading in old red '91 on
new Montego Blue '94 and am curious to know what those who have driven
both the "small" and the "big" engined Miatas think about them.
My understanding is that the horsepower is up but so is the car's
weight so the "perceived" performance is essentially unchanged.
To be honest, my interest in this is limited (for practical reasons),
and is driven by my lust for the Montego Blue color.  I suppose I
also just have a miata-phile need-to-know.  I vaguely recollect that
this has been discussed in the not-too-distant past, so I appologize
for the faq, but would appreciate (via direct post to me?) comments
by informed drivers.

Many thanks,

Will Zehring
