Yeah definitely in different leagues (and for arguments sake I'm going to compare a 2l mx5 to a S2000)
The S2000 is c. £27,000 new, Front 2.0 16v engine, rear wheel drive via a 6 speed manual. 1260kg, average 28mpg, 240bhp, 0-60 in 6.0 seconds, 150mph top speed
The MX5 is c. £20,000 new, Front 2.0 16v engine, rear wheel drive via a 6 speed manual. 1132kg, average 36mpg, 156bhp, 0-60 in 7.6 seconds, 136mph top speed
They are also similar size both inside and out.
So yeah totally different cars.
I still stand by my remarks that the MX5 would be a great car if the S2000 didnt exist and the S2000 is the car the MX5 wishes it was
