My car can handle!!
So last night I went canyon racing in my Pro. And i was really impressed at how well my car handles for having 100% stock suspension. I got it sideways, in a fwd drift i guess it would be considered, a couple times. I was taking turns that the speed limit suggests at 25, I was at 50. These cars are pretty sweet. Everyday I find out something new that I like. Except the power potential. I think im going to change my car over to mainly a road car instead of drag racer. Im still gonna do the BPT swap, but im not gonna build the hell out of it like originally planned. O a bad note tho, this guy in front of me in a miata, he took a curve at lie 65, drifted, then hit a mountain and totalled his car. And to think i was considering trading my pro for a miata. LOL.

That sucks about the miata. They're sweet cars.
I too am really impressed with my LX. It's bone stock, I have nothing done to it, and it's just really fun to drive. I can see how Jesse, Davard, and others can/could be very competitive in these cars. They are a blast.
Don't get down on the 'power potential'.... The BPT will give you more than enough potential, and there is even a 399.4whp NA miata running the BP. I dunno how he accomplished that, but it's very impressive none the less...
The added power/torque from just the BPT swap will bring a whole new dimension to your car, it'll be great!

Holy ****...399hp! Damn I need that engine. Wow I can only imagine 399hp in my 2500lb car. NO TRACTION!! Yea, hopefully if i keep my car then I will get the BPT swap done. Im just not the biggest fan of FWD, especially after last night seeint the miata and a WRX drifting around the corners. Man I want one. Maybe ill just park my Pro, get a new daily driver (Mazda of course, FC Rx7 will do) and turn the pro into an all out road car. That would be sweet!
