Who would win in a drag race. 93 sx or 93 miata. What about in an autocross race

Miata's OWN auto-x.  I dono about a drag race, thats something neither car was really made for.

The 240SX should be slightly quicker straightline...especially since a '93 Miata still has the 1.6L engine.  They're hard to beat in an autox b/c of their shear weight advantage...but the two cars don't compete in the same class.  The more open a certain autox course or road course is, the less of an advantage they have.  They're hard to compare, really, b/c they're not even in the same class.  But both fill their niche well and are both fun to drive.
