What do you guys think of this Miata? Do you like this new format of filming? Let us know your thoughts!

[Xrocks]

hearing the engine rev rather than hearing music is fantastic and refreshing.

[JamieR]

Proper driving.
So many young guys think that if it hasn't got 400+ HP then it's shit, which is so not true!!
Some of my best drives have been in sub 250HP cars.
Revs, steering and concentration, beautiful!

[ThOrZwAr]

This is Miata pornography, plain and simple... and it's awesome.

[ConnorGrosseFilms]

This is by far my favourite Miata anywhere I would love to hear this shit in person my god, nb1 for life

[marioshroom]

That engine and exhaust note is what gives a car guy goose bumps. Almost as good as a 4AGE or B Series.

[Thee_Sinner]

“What year is your Miata?”

Quinn: So about that....

[davidmccaughan]

Wow, just wow. It's all coming together; camera work; audio; editing. A whole new level, and what better subject than the iconic NB, that in a way, started it all. 🙌👊

[Zandermort]

Some people’s dream car is a lambourghini or a high hp LS swapped whatever... this... THIS is my dream build. I certain this is the only car capable of giving me a stiffy and making me cry from pure joy at the same time. I would actually do terrible, terrible things for this car. This truly is what driving nervana sounds and looks like. One day i pray to have the chance to own or even drive something this visceral

[arauzmotoring]

Hands down one of the best NB Miata builds ever. I find so much inspiration in this video, from the car, to the cinematography. Hope to get my car in your videos when the time is right. :)

[douglasolsen]

Had a coworker once, Marine sergeant, who commented that Miata’s were girlie cars (or words to that affect). I accused him of trying to get a date with me.

[srvmotoman]

For someone who is just getting into Miatas, this is gold. The possibilities seem endless...and it can be rebuilt.

[Rowtreez]

PLEASE GO ON SPEED ACADEMY'S MIATA TRACK CAR CHALLENGE!!!!

[MastRk]

I watched this video on my way to work in my s2000 this morning, at the red lights I rev'd my engine to see what my car sounded like compared to this felt shame. Clean miata!

[andycraige]

What a machine. Immaculately built. And the sound that thing makes 😍 great to see an owner who really knows his shit and knows how to drive the absolute snot out of his car. Loved all of cars from the different mx5 battles but the noise from this thing is something special. Props to you for this build man it's fantastic!

[VicVoss]

“Oh sweet. Quinn got featured on Petrolicious” is what I first thought watching the vid. Fantastic work on this vid guys!

[ISSpartan]

This is the first I’ve heard of you guys, and I’m majorly impressed! Aside from the absolute perfection that is this piece of art Miata, I loved the way you handled filming and editing!
Having the owner talk about his own car and blast it properly through some good roads was a refreshing take on the review format. I feel like nobody but the guy who built this crazy thing could have done it justice like that!
Job well done boys, subscribed and waiting for more.

[elementor]

When you can see an owner drive its car... it is special, you can feel how he knows how to push it for the limit, even an experienced driver can´t drive as fast as the owner does in the streets where he drives it everyday. That's the magic of this video, Human-Machine relationship at its finest.

[chrislabago]

Beautiful! Sounds like rotary at idle and screaming vtec at high rev, i love this

[mikedoing]

This is what I love about motorcycles. Raw, pure, it’s just you and the machine. The way this dude describes how much he loves driving his Miata reminds me of everything I’ve loved about being on a bike.
