i drive a miata because i enjoy it not because i want to race a v8 miata wouldn't be a miata anymore it changes the weight ratio plus now it would be just a gass guzzler! the v8 wouldn't make it better that's just a substitute for a guy who has a smaller member down there a v8 won't make it bigger buddy! lol
@Jutzujin, a v8 may have better power potential, but it completly changes the balence of the car. Thats why many people stick with the stock four amd either turbo or supercharge it
@flyingdutchman916 Well but dont deny that you would love to have a V8 Miata lol, it just looks so fun. However this miata in this video is wicked fast.
Let me put this to rest, first off a 98 Corvette has the first gen LS1 engine, not even an LS6 that comes in the C5 Z06 or the later base C5's. This car also has a crappy M6 and not the MM12 transmission in the Z06's which means the gears are EXTREMELY long. Lastly, a cam in this car MAYBE gets it to 380whp MAX with a shitty LS1 intake. LS6 car with cam only is looking at 430-440whp, add heads 480-490whp, add 150 shot over 650whp then it's GG Miata and anything else for UNDER 5 grand.
Dollar for dollar lets see who wins, the vette is 50 to 80K depending, that leave the person who bought the Miata at 19K with a starting budget of 31K. I can tell you that is a lot of mods. Right now I drive a sightly modded 2004 Miata Speed, and I a about to throw about 3K more at it with BEGI mods, to get it up to 250 hp.
@flyingdutchman916 Only real issue with turboing the B6ZE is it just doesn't feel natural. If its a track car, who cares, but for a daily car, it just doesn't feel right. Much like the Mazdaspeed Miata did. Just not refined with a turbo strapped on. That's why I went rotary. :)
Also, I'd like to add, let's be serious here, there are NOT that many fast Miata's like this one around. This guy has probably realistically invested over 6 grand into his engine/turbo setup for this car. the SMART move for ANY Miata owner is to go to flyinmiata, buy the LSX conversion kit, and put an LS motor in your car and throw your Miata engine in the trash. The power potential of a four cylinder is HALF that of a V8. Miata owners KNOW the LSX engine is the better powerplant.
@Jutzujin Next motor WILL be an LS2 or better. Doesn't seem all that difficult if you buy the parts from Monster Miata and Flyin Miata. Used LS1/2 off LS1tech, build it stronger and drop it in for less than a new crate motor. I want to do it to an FC/FC RX7 as well.
That corvette needs a lot of work. A million bucks under the hood of a miata is going to look good, but you are never gonna be able to make the power of a V8. Not only that, but corvettes have more support and parts everywhere. i love miatas and corvettes so it's not bias, just fact. That miata there is a quick one. The Stock LS1 has a 345 horse. This guy should let us know what the power band of that cam is. That Miata is def quick.

@monolith1200 yeah thats a crazy miata, ive driven both miatas and corvettes on the interstate and it would take crazy miracles for a miata to compete with the torque of a 5.7, especially on the interstate.
to many people underestimate the Miata, then you see a video like this and then get a wake up call. For those who think its gay to drive one, well then you're just insecure and trying to be all manly to act tough.
.....but nothing a couple a Gs wont fix, and by the way, the stock motor can work wonders alone, for example look at wat fuji racing managed to do with their miata, only running 184 whp, and beating cars wit more than double its horsepower around a time attack course.....so the next time u think of talkihng shit about a miata, think about wat i said, and if u still think its gay, ur jus a dumb fuckin inbred that fuck ur mom and ur sister and got married wit ur cousin.....
alright, id rather have the miata that according to u inbreds is "gay" then get smoked by 1....especially in a vette, and the miata can excel in more catagories than any other car in the world can, example(S) autox, track, and drift....and unlike a shitty honda or anything relative to gaytec, u can put a wide variety of FR formated engines, 13B T, 13B TT, SR20DET, RB25DET, and of course, pretty much any mustang or corvette motor......and ill admit it, miatas are pretty fay looking 'STOCK'......
I don’t like Miatas so that makes me the opposite of a faggot. But since you obviously like them well, bad news bud, that makes you the homo. I don’t have a car slower than this Miata so I wasn’t offended by what I saw, and I build imports BTW dumb shit. So if by muscle car mentality you mean cars that weren’t marketed and sold in mass to women, than I’m guilty as charged. Besides every car is a muscle car compared to a Miata douchebag.
@CHASNME i drive a miata and i like it and im not a faggot lol, your a douche for even saying something like that. a miata is a miata end of story quit bitchin about it, if you dont like them so much dont watch a videos about miatas lol
@flysk8r I mean no offense by this but Miatas are kind of gay. Yeah they can be capable cars, but so can anything with the right application of money. But when you start out with a secretary's car and pour a bunch of money into it becomes a really fast secretary's car. So yes a Miata is a Miata which in case anyone wasnt sure =a chick car. I enjoy watching any video involving an underdog kicking ass despite my proclivities.
@CHASNME if you dont mean any offense then stop calling them gay or "chick cars" i bought the cheapest rear whell drive available to me at the time, and im not saying that to make up for whatever type of "bad" decision it was beacaus i honestly love my car, my friends call me the ken doll because i ride around in a baby blue miata lol when i said a miata is a miata, i wasnt trying to say its a badass car im just saying accept it dont go irritating people with rash statments such as that afagcar
@flysk8r Fair enough I remember what its like having funds dictate what you drive, although I would have bought a 240 or FC Rx7. You didnt make a bad decision Miatas are the best all around band for the buck. Theres nothing wrong with loving your car who cares what anyone else says. Build your car for you fuck everyone else. I retract my statement about them being gay, Miatas are not gay. They are chick cars though, that just means more girls will want to ride with you.
@CHASNME word to your mother. building is a long process, im on my way though. my buddy drifts a 240 at midnight madness(missouris version of a drift meet and car show) and its pretty wild, but i like the handling and response of the miata alot.
@AnaboliX I don’t like Miatas so that makes me the opposite of a faggot. But since you obviously like them well, bad news bud, that makes you the homo.

That MX5 (Miata) would have beaten the Corvette on the corners stock, and now it can beat it on the straights as well... win win for the little roadster :)
@FoxDie262 or put 4 more cylinders on the miata thay make v8 kits for them now that would be real sick cuz i know the miata has got to be a few hundred pounds lighter then the vette
@ChrisN85420 lol with 4 more cylinders he should be able to win alone.. even with a turbo kit that miata probably isnt making over 240hp. whats the vettte at?
@ChrisN85420 miata:130 hp or less stock base pice 19k brand new...corvette: upwards of 400 stock, 80k brandnew, why would you even leave a comment like that? lol
@squirrely911 Id be embarrassed to be seen in a go cart called a mazda miata. Are you kidding? that shyt box is so small even my girlfriend says its a little girls car.
@squirrely911 Haha. I love both. That's why I race(d) an LS1 Miata and a 13B-TMiata. Wrecked the LS on a wet track and the 13B-REW is getting new Precision turbos atm. :( DD is a Mazda6S that is going to be getting a Magnuson GenIV SC making 13 pounds of boost this fall. Right around 400whp or about 500bhp. Zoom-Zoom.
