How fast can the 1990 Mazda Miata go from 0 to 60?

I’m looking to add a used Mazda Miata to my collection, and I’ve heard lots of good things, but I’m curious about speed. How fast does a 1990 Miata go from 0 to 60?

You’re bound to get some stairs in an attractive classic like that, but the speed might underwhelm you. A 1990
Mazda Miata
can go from 0 to 60 mph in 8.86 seconds. Here are some factors that affect your Miata’s acceleration:
  • Weight: 2,182 lbs
  • Horsepower: 116
  • Torque: 100 lb-ft
As you can probably guess, the 1990 Miata’s twin-cam 1.6-liter engine is not exactly an impressive powerhouse by today’s
sports car standards
, but once you’re going fast, you’ll be able to stay there for a while. This vehicle received great praise for a clean and quiet ride with comfortable handling at all speeds.
