Well CP was talking cars so it kinda carried on like idle lunch table chat, but yeah it isn't quite on topic.Not sure there is a right thread for this on RCU, least not where some of us hang out.
They do need more hp. I read somewhere that the turbocharged 2nd generation at about 175hp was the first Miata to actually feel like it was fast.. that's like 260-270hp in a 3100 lb car. But with your butt scraping the road zipping around tight roads at 50-60mph is a bloody riot.
V8 Miatas run 10's and 11's at the strip, when they hook up.
