turbo miata vs 360 spyder?
hmm, so talking **** got me into a pissing contest. my miata vs a friend's 360 modena spyder in the 1/4. i told him my car would keep up with his, but at $200k less. we'll see, probably friday after next at the local dragway's run-what-ya-brung.
another buddy of mine is going to let me borrow his drag wheels/tires from his Honda. I don't know what they are, or what size, but if they fit the front of a civic, hopefully they'll clear the miata fine. so what do you think? my 255.4 rwhp miata w/ the hardtop on, slicks, and launch control vs his 360 with no roof and high performance street tires. i'm thinking both are good for mid to high 12s and that the better (or luckier) driver will win.

I don't think I'll have time to do the rear swap, so it will most likely be on the 6" 4.30:1
I am planning on running the car up to the strip on the dolly (about 30 miles each way) just in case. Plus I am thinking of bringing a big cooler with a bag of ice to chill down the intercooler. Plus also I'm going to strap on some freeze packs to the throttle body side charge pipe.

I think his car could run better than high 12's. a perfect run for him should be in the low 12's. and I don't quite get the thing about the torque curve, apparently you haven't seen mine.
Jay may be right, that's why I'm gonna tow it in. Doesn't matter, the 6" rear is worthle$$ anyway.

YUMMY!!! my favorite...
what was i thinking Huster... so there is no benefit from having a shorter car? i'm not talking just on the track, odviously both are lined up evenly from their front bumpers. I guess having a shorterwheelbase would have something to do with launch...oh wellll... i'm excited this should be on some kind of reality tv show.
i think if you really want to whoop his *** and make him cry... I would do something with your rear end so you dont end up making a fool out of yourself. you would never be able to live that down from this guy.
