You can hit 14's in a miata if your towing it behind a 12 second Saleen. What a joke, are these Miata guys as delusional as the rest of the ricers? I guess that the $50,000 price tag on the Saleen included a windshield sticker and ground effects.

Hey,
No joking, there are a few Miatas around here running 13's NA. Of course they are the ones with the 5.0 Mustang motors. Too bad it screwed up the handling. Have any of you seen the pictures of the engine compartment. Talk about a tight fit!!! Take Care, Dave |

If your dad has twin turbo then he must be running a v8 or v6, and IMO that's not a miata anymore. Simply the shell of a miata with a much bigger engine. If you put a mustang engine in a Miata and race a real Mustang then you're racing mustang muscle against mustang muscle. You're literaly bending over for ford! (In the engine compartment) Might as well admit defeat at the line.

I remember a artical in Hot Rod like 12 years ago about a company putting 5.0's in miatas, called them moster miatas. More like mustang miata. Same shaddy comp. was also putting 5.0's in festivas...

Rage, these guys were actually putting the 5.0 in the hatchback of the fesivas like the old bugs with rear wheel drive. Made the little critters front ends awful light. Imagine getting out run by one?
