What a cute car!

What a cute car!
On the highway late last night, see a quaint little miatta cruising in the right hand lane at a pretty fast clip. Natually, I give chase. I'll race anything, my car is "stock." He slows down below the speed limit and doesn't look my way. So I think he's not game and get into the right lane. Well he pulls even on my left and revs me. I drop to 4th and give him some noise, then he punches it. I go to third and when I hit the gas it looked like he was on his brakes. I wait for him to catch up, because he is still in it. So I do it again. I keep punching it and walking out about a car every time he gets almost even. At a little over 90 (3.73 gears), I go to 4th and keep playing. Finally by about 115 he got tired of me toying with him and got out of it. Poor guy, I almost feel bad for him. Either he really thought he'd get me on top end, or he thought I had a 12 speed transmission or something.
Good times!

no ****, i remember back in highschool a friend thought his miata was the absolute **** because it had a six speed tranny backing a small v6 (i think). those cars are to damn small for me.

LMAO I can't beleive he kept on for that long. I have a guy here that bought one and kept talking about " How he was going to dump his whole tax return into it and then race me" ......He never did race me, He met an SUV on the road and his car got smashed.

Its something like a 1.8l rotary engine. rwd. slow as crap in a nuttshell. unfortunately they have enough space under the hood for a couple of interesting engine swaps...

I did that to a Pontiac Aztec last weekend. Just kept my nose about a 1/4 car length in front of them, they were wide open throttle the whole time, I was no more than 1/2 throttle I think. They bailed out at around 100mph. It was fun. They bought the ticket, so I had to give them full fare.

as far as conversions i've heard of a ls6 Miata.
a miata weighs like 2300pounds, so imagine. it's a great chassi for a road race/ auto x.

Is there really enough room in that thing for a small block?
