If you don't know that the Miata is a sports car (as are all roadsters) then you really need to get the fuck out, because it's obvious you're not qualified to participate in a debate among enthusiasts.
A little more info from Car and Driver:
2005 Mazdaspeed Miata
0-60 mph: 6.7 seconds
2006 Honda Civic Si
0-60 mph: 7.3 sec
That's more than a half a second difference. That Civic Si is a screamer all right.
Edmunds 0-60 6.7
Car and Driver 0-60 7.3
Car Connection 0-60 7.5
Reason there is variations is because of when the people shifted. Car and driver says they shifted to 3rd before 60. They didnt redline it, shifting at about 8 when redline is 8300. For this smartass who said the civic is a screamer alright, well look at it this way from what the fuck I just told you, the mazda aint no screamer either. And thats what it was meant to be, thats why the mazdaspeed is boosted, and still just as fast as a "grocery getter".
Damn that mazdaspeed sure is a true sports car. It cant even fuck with a Plain ol stock civic si. By the way that "grocery getter" of a civic is suppose to run high 14's stock. With very minor mod's it is easily a very low 14 sec if not high 13 sec car.
