Oh, I know the OP doesn't need to be banned, but we should still be able to move threads to the right section. I think this is the 3rd, if not more, bench racing threads I've seen here. I saw one over in the Lounge also...

Cool thread, I thought I'd come in and check it.... ..... ahh crap, now I got herpes too!

Turbo Miata = big unknown. 300whp isn't hard, and that'll really move one of those little cars.

Moving to bench racing. OP, when you race make a new thread in the Street racing section and I'll lock this one. Thanks

well man make sure he wasnt toying with the 5.0 because i ran one with my 02 4.6 gt lots of mods and 100hp shot and lost by 3-4 cars. His was a huge turbo tho. He would've ran around 12.9 to 13.5 on strip but those cars can get in 11s and 12s.
read that one and a couple below it again. just cause he tells you or you hear he only beat this or that doesn't mean he wasn't playing around with those cars. you can buy a 1K full turbo kit off ebay for those cars that puts them into the 300's as jank as that sounds and they can be extremely fast. like said above, i wouldnt bet a dime untill i saw under the hood.

The guy in the Miata ended up backing out of the money race. Made up some excuse that his clutch was slipping from a dig. So we ran from a roll. I totally raped him. So I guess I worried for nothing. I think he realized what was going to happen.

He claims to be 12.5 sec car. Sad part is that he was supposedly the fastest car among the ricers. I guess that makes me the fastest now.

Turns out the guy traded his car in for a datsun yesterday. I hope I did not shatter his Miata dreams.

Video coming soon.
