Z, you are right to a certain point. A lot of autoX courses are specifically set up for short wheel based, good handling imports. I don't know how they setup the autoX at Sebring, but if it was on the actual track and they did not chop the course up too much, a typical run between a Miata and a Vette should not have a 10 second discrepancy assuming the drivers have equal talent. My guess is that the drivers of the Miatas you are referring to have a lot more seat time that the Vette drivers. When it comes to road courses or autoXs, seat time is absolutely key in how you and your Vette will perform. Like anything, ...practice, practice, practice.
