I have much more than that invested.

So estimated you have about a total investment of 25-30K? Thats not bad at all seeing the end product of the swap. Good runs and nice miata!

Your Miata is BAD ***! Was the price you payed total including the engine & tranny? I've been thinking about swapping my LS1 into a Miata? & those Vettes at the end!

Silver C6 at the end resembles a vette that used to be owned by a guy in my town. And after watching that race and seeing how it pulls away from your 500hp miata, I bet its the same one. Ask the owner if he bought it from a guy in upstate SC.

Its not the same one... Owner bought car stock and has done all mods...

Orange vette is mine and I've mentioned what it has a few times... Its nothing special combo wise, just works well.

Gotcha. Like his, it seems to be a very powerful setup. Orange vette is powerhouse also.

Still blown away at that Miatas ability to dead hook like it does.

The Corvettes were undoubtedly fast! Holy smokes....

WTF was in those two Vettes. To pull you like that on Spray they're pulling hard. Nice *** Miata though.
