But seriously, that has got to make your ***** hurt when it transitions into boost.

Not the worst launch ever, but he sure won't win brackets like that...

That run in the vid was a high 9 @140+ with a 1.56 60' that's not bad at all. But now it's in the 8's or low 9's or something stupid - Inforz in teh linkz
I still cant get over the fact that our motors with the same amount of work only make 1/2 the power.

That would be your opinion. Just like Pepsi > Coke is my opinion.
I didn't click link, just watched video and saw the truck cross the line first. In my book that's how you win a drag race... 
But drag racing is gay, so who cares.
I'm really not bagging on the car that badly. Still think the power band is pretty ******* terrible, but that's what happens when you crank 8 or 900hp from a 120 cubic inch engine. What really surprises me (after clicking on link) is the ******* thing hasn't come flying apart yet. Maybe if mazda designed our cylinder heads with gaping anus ports like Honda has they'd make more power?
Jeez people, getting all hateful in here with out reading the link. That was the second outing at the strip. He was much faster than the truck, the slip is in the link. That tree is setup to not start until the beam is tripped, so you can sleep all you want.

I love miatas to death, but come on....our motors are just lacking in the power making department. 500+hp is not impossible by any means from a B6,BP but we can't do it anywhere near as easy or efficiently.
EDIT: Also their drivetrains are nuts. The dude blows a tranny and is like, "oh well, I guess this is too be expected at 1000hp, haha," I know there are a few K swaps going on now, but it won't surprise me if they start becoming more and more popular.
