MX6.0

Here's a vid of my car not too long after I finished my swap last year. The GT3 is a buddies car. This wasn't his quickest run, I think his quickest was a lower 12. My car was putting down 430/410 at the time.

My car:

• Stock LS2 bottom end
• LS3 top end
• Small cam
• 25% pulley
• Light Clutch / Flywheel
• GTO T56
• 3.23 rear
• 225/15 RA-1 tires (road race tires)

His car:

• Stock GT3

In-Car Video - same run *volume is low*



Looking forward to hitting the track again this year with some drag radials and a little more power

Good runs!

Get Hio or Jewce to drive your car into the low 10s.

That's just badass. Always wanted a swapped miata.

Already knew the GT3 was going down before clicking on the thread

Nice. never driven a V8 miata...but I have driven a lowering springed, stock car plus turbo setup...and I gotta say,..it was a blast to drive for the 3 minutes of track abuse. Reminded me of a heads and cam vette honestly lol. V8 in, it must be pretty wild.

I haven't watched the video yet, but i know you will Kill him, I ran one at the 1/2 mile shootout in Ga, I spun BAD off the line .. stopped his pull and creeped on him but the gap was to big from all the spinning, However he trapped 129+ i trapped 131+

Nice Miata!!

I've driven the car probably 7K miles since I "finished" the swap and I have to say, it NEVER gets old or boring. I've gotten used to the speed/power but the looks I get from other people are priceless and the sound of car always makes me smile. Aside from the shifter kart I've been racing for a number of years, I've never had so much fun on 4 wheels.

Here's the slip from that run. I figure if some drag radials can knock a couple tenths off my 60' I should be good for a mid-high 10 sec run....and a swift boot off the track




Oh, and here's a shot of the engine bay. Tried to keep it looking factory.

I'm loving this thing. Nice swap bud.

good kill.

a n/a 3.8/4.0 liter 6 cylinder against a modded v8 in a matchbox?

Awesome man! What do you use for a rear end? How is it holding?

MX6.0

It's a CTS Getrag rear with custom axles. Despite all the problems the Cadillac guys were having with them, they seem to hold up pretty well on a lighter weight car. No failures so far in any of the swaps that I've heard of. We'll see how it does with some Mickey Thompsons in a couple months.

Meh, not the mini corvette. Where's your mid-mount turbo? Haha

MX6.0

hahaha NA for life! I'll probably end up doing a larger displacement sleeved block but I'm done with turbos...for now.

PhantaZm

No turbo no care
