I vote for same as Hectic.
For the record, I have nothing against the concept of the Miata, after all, I had two Toyota MR2s.
But if someone were to offer me a Miata or a mint condition 62 Corvette, the choice would be obvious.

Just about everybody vote is in but Sbv. If we end up in a tie, instead of being a triple threat or fatal-4-way to the championship. I’ll probably incorporate this new rule, which I was going to introduce in the next madness tournament, to help eliminate ties from moving on to the next round.
The new rule would be if the match ends up in a tie. Then I will take all the votes from the previous rounds for an example that vehicle A has 20 votes and vehicle B has 15. Then vehicle A will move on. Of course, this rule wouldn't help the first round matches.

63 was nice, but the 62 Corvette was a piece of junk. Solid rear axle, 250 hp, over 3,000 pounds and a fiberglass body.
If someone offered me a mint 62 Corvette I would accept it, but I'd immediately sell it, buy a Miata (if I didn't already have one) and invest the remaining $100k+.
Oh how wrong you are, Miata breath. Solid rear axle: yes. Only 250 hp: no. All '62s had a 327 ci with up to 360 hp. Over 3,000 lbs/fiberglass body: that's every Corvette; what's your point?
The 63-67 was a more advanced car, with mechanical fuel injection and other stuff. But if advancement is the only criteria, just buy a '90s model for cheap money, and be done with it. I think the 60-62 is the best blend of classic looks and capability.
Wikipedia says:
Here's a Koenigsegg test driver at Nurburgring in an NC Miata:
I couldn't find any video of 1962 Corvettes at Nurburgring (that weren't simulations).
Nice selective quoting. Do you moonlight for Jeff Sessions?
If you go down a few more lines, you'll see this.
Oh, and I was wrong. Fuel injection was actually introduced in the 62.
The Madness said 1962 Corvette. It didn't specify which engine size. Base model was 250 hp, as your post shows.
Where does it say we're voting on the base model?
The 67 Camaro and 57 Bel Air pictured are not authentic vehicles; they're modified. Maybe they should've been disqualified.
