MILKJUG, Miata vs BRZ, and Pikes Peak

Build of the Week

The BRZ also wins the power battle with a whopping47 more horsepower (228 vs 181), but does weigh 406 lbs heavier. BRZ also wins in the quarter mile and braking tests. The Miata does win in slow speed roads in terms of handling. Which would you get?
