Default took out a miata

stock '99 miata and my '95 ex coupe with headers/catback/short throw/ and a passenger who isnt exactly the lightest person out there..

me and my friend were goin home after a meet and we were next to eachother at a light and we both started reving and punched it. it was drizziling and wet so he fished taled a lil since its rwd but i had a lil wheel spin as well. after we both caught, i took off and keept about a 1 1/2 car distance lead for about a 1/8 mile and then we slowed down cuz there were a bunch of cops running around and didnt want to risk it. but, i suppose this would be good enough to be considered a kill which would be my first real kill might i add.

Miata is RWD??? I raced a buddy of mine's convertible miata, its at 12 PSI, and a 5 speed. Its easy to guess who won that race.

it depends what trim level the miata was and what year the new ones have more hp, but some of the old ones have i think 125hp.

yeah, they arent very powerful ( the new turbo one isnt too bad though) but they handle like go-karts. if anyone is wanting a rwd track car, look into those. ive seen quite a few auto-xs that had a miata as FTD.

Some of those miatas are pretty quick. They are the poor older mans midlife crisis car.
