I must be watching the wrong video, cause it appears that you lose, repeatedly.

I think you would have fared better if you actually had 400rwhp. How is this an Internal Engine Tech topic?

The main reason you lose is because of weight difference.

I am guessing the Miata has something.
There had been people that take S2000s and put the supra engine in it so i can't see why something migh not be done to the Miata.

I did a quick search and at best a stock Miata does a 14 1/4mi about. +
I want to say your car would do a 12.7 or a 13 1/4mi.
Unless something is wrong with your car like not making even close to 400rwhp with thoes mods, unless it has an LS6; the Miata has something, like nitrous for an example.
EDTI: Miata seems turbocharged and with the power to weight ratio the Miata would beat you in a roll race mostlikely

400Whp 381TQ on the Vette. The Miata has a monster turbo, it's stroked, he was running 12lbs against me and but he can run all the way up to 30lbs. We did it with him on 20lbs and it wasnt even a race. He also has methonal injection and some other serious modifications. No nitrous. It was built by some guy who owns the fastest Miata in America. I will send a pic of the Miata's motor.
