Damn, that vette was insane. C5's ans C6's were just made for centri blowers.

Badass Miata as well!

That Corvette did have to work to win that one. But that Miata is nasty. Wonder what the weight is at on that Miata.

JThurik,
Nice work.... I didn't think anyone was gonna roll up that Mini Vet....

Your car freakin rolls man...I saw it run at the TI event in April. I sure wish my Z06 was an automatic..... This video clearly shows the advantages of the auto....

We are finishing the motor now, I should be around your power level or a touch more but it will never run with yours as long as a stick is in it....

That miata was getting a hell of a jump both times... It took the Vette just a bit to make up that jump but it simply ran away after that....

Can't wait to see your car done I am looking at a setup close to yours. If you don't mind me asking where did you get the iron 402 at? Edit: looked again never mind

Dammit I drove all the way up to Little River Dragway hoping to run the MNIVET. Instead he was out getting puppy-kicked by this vette lol

Scary 'vette!

I ****** love this Miata. I think this is the 1st time I've seen you lose a race.

That was a bad *** Vette though. Honorable death.

Miata needs an auto, that car would be even more of a bad SOB if it could stay in boost the entire time.

Would be interesting to see that Miata run as a hard top. Aero drag hurts the convertible at high speeds.

Not surprised at all. It makes quite a bit more power, it's got better gearing, and it's more aerodynamic.
