I've yet to get my hands on one, although the dealer that sold me my NC would gladly let me. I know myself, too!

I did the whole Miata thing kind of backwards. NB2 Mazdaspeed to PRHT NC2 to 1991 NA6.

I'd have a hard time springing for an ND with current NC1 prices so low. You can literally find PRHT GT 6 speed cars with 30K miles for $14,000 or less if you look around. Maybe the NC is the NA's husky kid brother, but I'd take another one in a heartbeat for 1/2 the cost of a ND.
