Default 10 second Miata, but look at the trap speed

This happened at my track witch is a new record for a Miata. We race at 5,400 feet altitude. No one thought it would run this fast. I know the owner was really surprised.

click here the the thread

I thought it was cool anyways.

No, it's probably a Ford motor. Ever heard of "Monster Miata's"? They have Ford 302's in them....

139mph car isnt a joke, when cars get to that level I dont care what it is, 5.0, LS1, LT1, viper, import or what ever, thats just moving.

that was on bfg's with a high 1.8 60', image full slicks and a harder launch, hes got the mph to make some even better et's.

thats awesome
locally my frined trihn runs 10.7 at 141, with only 1.9 60's, buts thats an FF civic for ya, man i wish his was rwd

bump for nice imports though--finally bringing something good back to the scene.

It isn't bad enough that the Miata is doing better in the slalom than other cars. Now this little 4 banger is doing 10 second 1/4s. That sucks, faster than my ride.

But it is a sweet run for a nice car.

they own a percentage, just like GM owns a percentage of Subaru.

doesn't mean GM made the STI does it?

but you're right, Ford does use Mazda parts for some of its cars, like the Focus.
