1/4 mile times....
place et mph guy year engine
17 12.901 112.000 Jared Bonaventura 1995 Stock
Ok, so, I know that my 2000 model miata is sort of a pig. And I put in that roll bar. I'll admit, it tips the scales at 2450 wet. Maybe it's that extra 200 lbs keeping my car in the 15.9 second 1/4 mile stock, while this guy ran within 0.14 seconds of MarkP.
Or, not. Seriously, who's dumb idea was this list?

Maybe with a stock bottom end, but that's a stretch. Stock displacement I could see. At least headwork and a lot of turboing. I mean, there's a 175 whp difference between a stock miata and one running in the 12's. My point about him being the next guy after mark wasn't random - if he really were that close, he'd have had to have done a similar amount of work.
The whole list was interesting, all the best times were off of miata motors, not LT-1's, etc.

12.9 is fast to me, like anyone else with any sense, but it's not THAT difficult to reach. FWIW, there was a guy at the track here in Fayetteville, NC that was running 13.1s in a MSM with limited mods. So, in theory a 1.8 FMII/BEGi S3 or similar homebrew setup would be right there.
I hoping that my '99 with S4 will be close.

"stock" is not anything (any miata) in the 12's. If it's turboed enough to take 3 seconds off your ET, it's turboed enough to mention.
And you guys and your fancy, 93 octane, supergas can all go *$&% yourselfs. I hope it snows on you/
