Wonder how fast he can lay a track?:drool: |
Around here we would say "full sik, moit!"
There's one in the local neighborhood with a Lexus V8 in it....... |
That's sick......There used to be a company here in the US that would do 5.0 Mustang engine conversions on Miatas back when the Miata first came out. I think they were called Monster Miata or something like that. These things screamed. You could get any level of horsepower you wanted all the way up to a supercharged 5.0 in these things. They were like a modern day Shelby Cobra.
|
my opinion is that a v8 totally kills what the miata is all about: balance. sure that thing probably goes like a rocket, but can it turn like a slot car? doubt it. remember, a wise man once said: if you can't go fast with 90hp, 900hp won't help you. (bob hall, father of the miata)

Wow that took some imagination to come up with that setup. I would hate to see it running that hard and fast. Bet parts would be flying everywhere. LOL I bet that car moves though.

the supercharged 302 Miata was called the "mega monster miata". There is a company in Austrailia that does 13B (Twin turbo RX7 engine) amd lexus quad cam swaps in miatas as well. The 13B is a good option....closer the same weight as the Miata's engine.
