That car is rather interesting to watch in person - seeing the Miata driving around while hearing the V8 exhaust note is like watching a movie where someone's dubbed in the wrong sound effects.

Re: LS Powered Miatas: We Want

I bought a '71 Vega once as a rolling chassis that was set up for a big block Chevy. Made a deal with some guy for a warmed over 427 and installed it. That car would go any way but straight, and I nearly killed myself at least twice, so I sold it and made money.

This miata reminds me of that Vega. Freakin rollerskate.

Re: LS Powered Miatas: We Want

Eye Opening experience. Being 6ft tall with 1ft of it being neck, my head protrudes far over the windsheild of what would normally be called a raindow mobile. Instead, I was riding a 425hp 9inch reared Miata with an LSX in it. Mind you this was in 2004, this was when a 400hp LS was the bomb especially in anything other than a vette. The car had 6 flowmasters on it, 2 race mufflers and then two 3 chambers out the back, total sleeper, unless at a stop light. We got on the entrance ramp, and he rolled into it in second and proceeded to bang gears until I had to close my eyes and pray, and we hadn't made it to the highway yet. So it easily did 120mph in a rolling 1/8 mile. Totally sick, almost pulled as hard as a 900hp c5, or maybe it was the fact I was already in a death trap suv speed bump, that made it seem so fast, I guess we'll never know. But it was wicked scary, and totally cool, I want one in the I'm not so liberal kind of way.

A "rainbow mobile". LOL. I can see wearing a pastel leisure suit and scarf ala Mr. Furley and wiping some smirks off some unsuspecting ricers
