I'd be willing to bet that the majority of owners do not buy it to take it to the track but because it is cute, convertible, cheaper than a Z3 and not as manly as daddy's/hubby's Corvette.
Most Miata owners I see are men, not women. Furthermore, they are usually in their 40's or 50's. I highly doubt the average man in his 40's or 50's is going to be buying it because it's cute.

I always saw tons of Miatas at autocrosses back when I used to do that, in 3 different states. There were always more Miatas doing it than Corvettes or any other type of car. And if you want to talk about road racing, there's a whole Spec race series that's been devoted to Miatas for years.
