dang. now thats power:weight right there.

all these miata videos make me want mine back

[Leadfoot_mf]

2.0 stroker, turbo, etc etc. This is NOT my red Miata.

whos was it? i know of a lots of 300+ hp miatas.

[Leadfoot_mf]

I find this really hard to believe. That zo6 driver probably sucked at driving. Im estimating this on the top of my head but im guessing the miata is a 6:1 power to weight and the vette is probably around 8:1. But the vette has awesome hwy gearing and quite frankly i dont give a fu.ck what your gay miata thinks but the zo6 is just much more superior than a miata END OF STORY!

/Thread
PS im just bored so dont get all butt hurt

you have a very valid point.

[Leadfoot_mf]

lol at mike the defender of the miata.

[Doppelgänger]

nah, just throwing in a couple ideas to show its plausible.

But then again... what do i know.....

Tim, looking for any Miata supension parts?

[dazn]

EDIT:now i see y u want to see the setup, H.C. CRX. lol


civic, setup, lap time...umm...umm...
naa im jk. ill get all the stuff and post it up. it might take a sec.

formula BMW. nice. did u run in valencia or testing or run in the series? jw

I was a technician for a BMW team in 05 and then lead mechanic for another in 06. that picture is from a test day at VIR in 05, we were done for the day so I wanted a picture to send to my parents since they still have no idea what I do. besides Im too old for that series anyways, but those cars are great all around.


is yours similar to an ITA setup? if so 44s are definitely possible with the R6's.

it is pretty much a ITA car without the diff and an interior. but the interior is around the same weight as a cage and the diff is only needed for T7.

lol. At the end of the day, is still a Miata...

At least it's known that guys driving Miatas are not overcompensating for their shortcomings

[coolcat]

It's a trap!!

What are you talking about? You drive a girl's car!

One day, when you're driving along and a car full of 14-year-old girls are gawking at your car in amazement you will realize how gay your car is.

Wait a second.....how would a car full of girls looking at my car make it gay?? That makes no sense to your argument....lol

Emphasis on 14-year-old girls foaming at the mouth to drive your car once they are able to get their learner's permit. There's a difference.

[Doppelgänger]

So you're still saying that Miatas attract girls. Once their old enough to drive.......... they're old enough to..........










One day people will realize that i use IA just to **** off and entertain my boredom

[iloveboost]

Girl's thought process:

"Oooh, a Miata. That's a cute car. I'd consider talking to him but he's probably gay."

"Oooh, a Corvette. That's a nice car. I'd like to drop the panties for that guy!"

All kidding aside, I asked a female co-worker what she thought of this car.



Her reply was, "Queer. Like the guy driving it."

I'm not even kidding.

[Doppelgänger]

oh yeah.. that guy is definitely gay... look at the receding hair line and the aviator glasses. Not to mention that guy paid for a top of the line model and didn't even get a car with LSD.....but it came with leather Leather seat in a sports car =



You guys should know im not really serious with what i post......haha (except for whats written above this....its very true)

[Z U L8R]

miata vs 510 , power to weight? ^.-

And of course that black Miata is gay. I will even say that. Look at him. I drive a Miata..knowing I am so confident in my **** size and bein straight that I can drive a gay car. You all are just scared to drive one and be in the open like that. Being scared to drive such a tiny car means.....

ya you're right, i'm afraid to drive a miata..




















































they have too much power for me

[iloveboost]

Actually, I'd be open to racing a Miata if that's what I had to work with. But I don't.

And seriously, this is all in fun. I can respect the car for what it is. It's just not my cup of tea.

X2 about my 'Vett comments.

[chituntang]

If your Miata has a stock trans, your max speed is like 120. I was messing around with my friend on 185 once and he was chasing me. He told me his Miata is driving 115 on 6k+ rpm. So if the Z06 cannot left you dust on 4th gear, he is not racing you, assuming he is supposed to go like at least 140+.

Yes power to ratio is important, but your car can only go 120. So you only shorten your 0 to 120 time, but not increasing your top speed.

Stock Miatas are limited to ~120mph by aerodynamics. I have seen my speedo at 135 only to be stopped by hitting fuel cut. That was on my old car with a 4.30 rear end. I later went to a 4.10 and saw the speed-o a bit north of 140. Now a 6-spd miata will go ~155 with the stock 3.9 rear, but if you were to swap that to a 3.62 (and had the power) 160+ is attainable.... not that you'd see it on the speed-o because it stops at 150 lol.

But Miatas are very capable of goign faster then 120. You friends Miata was stock.

[matthewAPM]

i love how everyone hates on the miata, yet they cant keep up with one on a track...

but your right, 122 in my miata and it was on the limiter...

I know, nothing personal Miatas are FUN track cars.
