New Miata custom order- timeline

Looking for people that ordered their Miata directly from Mazda.

What was your timeline ? When did you submit your order and when did the car arrive at your dealership ?

Can you get discount also on an order or it’s MSRP ?

Looking for all the feedback I can get

Brand new fl5 vs brand new Miata help

Already have an suv for the family and this car would be our 2nd car.

Usage is probably 25% track, 25% road trips, 50% canyons/twisty roads.

Spouse wants us to get brand new nd3 Miata GT manual, leaning towards fl5 brand new especially before they get discontinued.

Give me the good/bad/ugly of the fl5 vs nd3, or those who owned both and can weigh in.

Pretty much title,

Looking to buy and don't want to miss anything so I make a very informed decision. How many miles have you put on the car, what's your gripes/annoyances? how reliable this car has been for you especially if you track it ? how's maintenance, give me a realistic good/bad/ugly. I'll be driving this car as a ''2nd'' car in boston area, not sure about 18's etc. Please share everything. Thinking of getting a black one or red one. BTW, which paint color is the ''least'' shit on these Hondas?

pretty much title,

Already have an SUV, buying brand new regardless. Found type R at MSRP so 48k, miata GT soft top 35k. so 13k usd difference.

What do I need to know before pulling the trigger ? I'm located in MA if that makes any difference for the choice.
