For full features; Go to is the miata for real?
this is a reply to the miata fan, and not intended as as a negative come
back, but im not a miata fan and i do think they are girly, but i also know
what lies under the hood! and at the end of the day, thats all thats
matters. i havent had the chance all kinds of cars like you or most people,
but i did have a honda(90' integra to be exact), and i bought from my uncle
with 348000 miles(hey it was my first car), and eventually swapped the
motor(only), put another 20000 miles on the chasis, and only changed the
break pads and oil. its nothing to brag about because maybe it would have
fallen had i gone another 20 feet. but it never leaked anything and i would
put a honda up against the miata any day. i know the miata is light, but it
is only gonna make close or over 200hp with boost or spray! now i said
disregarding the s2k, wich comes with the f 20 motor and puts anywhere from
220 plus, im talking about the b 18c or b 16(type r).both put 185hp to the
wheels but the b 16 reaches 8500rpms at its ahift point. maybe you have
raced hondas and beat them, but i can almost gaurantee that the work that
was done to them was insignificant(like intake and exaust). two cars that i
can tell you i have raced against so you can kinda use your imagination,
was a 96-97 mustang(not the gt), and 04-05 monte carlo ss. now mind you my
car only had 126 hp, but i beat them both easily. now i kinda dont count
the mustang because the v6 dont really put nothin out, but my point is
honda can do everything the miata can do. i think honda vs miata would be
one heak of a show down. and the race could go either way!

Ok...uhm...I'm assuming you're talking about Newyorker as the "Miata fan".
I have to be honest, I have no idea what point you were trying to make..

In my experience the car is only 1/2 the equation...... driver skill is the
other 1/2. This is why a 126hp car can outrun things which should not
normally be capable. Either you are really good behind the wheel..... OR
the other drivers had no clue of what they were doing. (I suspect the
later).....
Or another just as plausible reason is you were the only one racing.

Can't believe I missed this haha
Not that the OP will ever come back but on 7psi, I was walking away from my
friend's CRX (weighed in at 2060lbs) with a B16 with a built head.
