Trebuchet! Welcome back!
I remember you prefacing your disappearance with words to the effect of "top secret... buh-bye".
There are a bunch of guys pulling decent numbers from Miatas - with the manual, provided you're not doing high speed steady state driving, you should be able to do the same. Technique, baby. Oh... and instrumentation, baby.
I would have posted the aero hardtop too, if freebeard hadn't beat me to it. But you don't buy a roadster to put a hardtop on it, do you?
As for high octane, won't the ECU just pull back some timing if you run regular? I would think it's recommended but not essential. And then I would research...
As for what Jeremy Clarkson would have done, he would have brought a shotgun with him and filled as many Insights with as much lead as he could have. Glad you didn't do that.
