This Is Rediculous Ok one of my friends just called me and said this guy in a turboed miata(9.5lbs of boost) can smoke the **** out of me at a dig. But at the back of my head i can see one of these things being fast with what he's got because their lite as hell, but i dont know. Im pushing 380 hp, 330 at the wheels and 350 tq. You think i can beat him?

I dont see him beating you from a dig. He has to get the rpm's up before the turbo will start to kick in, and will probably have almost no torque from a dig. Mabey from a roll he might have a chance, those cars are really light.

I hate people that talk **** like that. Most of them wont even race beacuse they know they'll get stomped.
Even with the turbo, I cant see him being much over 225-250rwhp.

You shouldn't have a problem with him, unless its a very radical miata. My friends at cool cat racing have a few they use for road course and drifting. They are supercharged, have 50/50 weight ratio, and highly modded suspension (some). It'll probably surprise you, but not beat you.
220 hp and 2300 lbs makes for a decently fast car.

And it doesn't take anywhere near 40k to get 375 hp out of a miata. Try 5-8k.
Anyone who thinks these cars are a joke needs to turn on an SCCA event sometime. You know, the kind of races where you have to actually turn.
Better yet, any in the area could come down to the Macon, Ga Centreplex tommorrow and get thier butt handed to them by a few.

you should beat that joke of a car while you're on jackstands.
Then afterwards ask him if he had something stuck under his gas pedal because you thought that his car would have been a little faster than a 1974 pinto wagon....
