a V8 Miata would actually be considered a man car in my book.

If it was a built V8 that thing would be a handful to drive.

one of my friends races a miata in autocross. he is certain that he is faster than a bike..... he has yet to prove it since he says bikes arent allowed in his autocross club. maybe cause they know that they CANT keep up with a bike..........

yes it would be considering they are barely over 2000 pounds and its easy to lighten them up and if u got money u can replace almost all body and interior parts with carbon fiber. i am on a forum that has a guy with a 1700 lb miata with a 600 hp LS1. its almost too much power for such little weight. traction is hard to find. i wouldnt mind dropping a few pounds(both me and the car) then dropping in a V8 and having 400-450 rwhp. i think that would make the car fast as fuck and still very streetable.

could probably put a solid rear axle and tub the car and throw some big rubber back there but that would kill the handling of the car big time. goin striaght fast is fun but i love ripping thru corners better. i am sure u get where i am coming from with that busa
