drag racing that car would be a waste.

why? and when I ask why, I simply just want you to state your reasons. It's easy to state a conclusion, I just want your thinking behind it.

Miata's excel in road racing and autocross. They are among some of the best handling cars around. It would work for drag racing but it would be much better suited on a course where you had to turn.

yet there has been 11 and 12 second 1/4 miatas i am not sure about 10's.
i guess thats a clashing of opinions cause to me, a rwd tiny car with a bigger more powerful motor . that would be the perfect setup for drag racing.
similiar to what people did with chevy vega's , or even the chevy luv's..

 

thats things gotta scoot considering the miatas are lighter than civic hatchbacks.

I wanna see more pics of the rear end and under the car, etc

 

how much does it cost to get the motor and tranny in the miata.i'd like to know because i'm still planning on doing this swap. l posted this same swap on ht way back.

 

sick

i'm not saying it couldn't, i just think it'd be an amazing track car. If you wanted to make a drag car out of a miata you could just put a 302 in it and have a lot of power.

 

Wow...it looks like that engine fits in the miata better then the stock one.

 

that would defeat the purpose of the term import, now doesnt it.
its like rx-7's if you turn the motor mounts upside down a 5.0 bolts right in.. thats just not right... stupid ford lol

fast is fast, i don't care where it's made. I love ls1 powered rx-7s. The lotus elise has a honda/toyota motor (depending on where you live). We live in a global market and i have no issue mixing origins/brands/anything.

 

and on that note to each his own.

Correction

Miatas excel in RACING period

Drag RACING is just one form of racing with one very clear purpose -- cross the finish line first

Its a fundamental skill to launch and test acceleration

If you cant extract the most from your vehicle in a straight line than you probably cant extract much from it when turning, braking and rev matchin are thrown in

Master the basics before you step up a notch

I have seen too many threads of the "twisty snobs" who have yet to hit a drag strip -- and when they do they get owned by slower cars simply because they cant launch their cars properly -- ie 14 sec STI's

Racing is racing -- its better than a ricey car show any day of the week

 

whoa

 

that is nice...
