Really curious to see how it holds up temp wise with the extra boost. The mods are really for drag racing and runway events but I still want to road race until I can get a dedicated track car. Maybe I'll see you out sometime.

Miata is a blast, but alot different than high hp cars, Miata is all momentum as all cars somewhat should be but, in a high hp car your setting the turn up for a better exit everwhere, in the miata its about no losing anything anywhere as the penalty for a mistake is massive. In a high horse car the penalty on exit or over slowing isnt nearly as large. Juggle them any way you like but other than driving skill aside grip and hp are what creates good lap times. Ive got piles of seat time in mostly vipers but alot of other cars as well, so im pretty good at adapting from a miata to viper to anything in between.
