Bullet vs MX5 Turbo

[chrisc7503]

Just look how flat the unmolested MX5 takes the corners compared to that bastardised Bullet monstrosity, see 4.44 on. Mazda plough millions into R&D for their vehicles, something a cottage industry from a dusty outback downunder can't possibly match. Maybe Bullet thought "If it ain't broke, take a sledgehammer to it Bruce".

[KrystianMajewski]

Why would you even do that?! The flippy headlamps are the BEST PART!

[YEApopcornBABY]

THEY KILLED THE FLIPPY HEADLIGHTS Dx

[forkliftninjaz]

can't believe the 1.6 is still quick as heck! lol

[JULESRULES9969]

Blown V8 and it can barely hold its own. Those turbo guys know their shit

[175myles]

That front end looks so shit, the original MX-5 front looks beast and less try hard.

[vitixs]

tanto dinero invertido para hacer un aborto

[proteinator]

you've ruined it... :(

[CptWhitebread]

This car is disgusting...

[mecevans]

1UZ is a beast.

[Patarach]

looks like a ford escort front end on a miata with ebay tail lights

[JcXtreme72]

I've never seen a miata with the sleepy eye look but that actually looks good

[jairo3069]

@JcXtreme72

No Miata looks good.

[JcXtreme72]

@jairo3069 I meant the headlight mod not the whole car.

[securitron5]

wow sick cars

[NBSV1]

I can't believe they did so much work to completly rebuild the front chassis. The single piece foward opening hood is interesting, but someone needs to show them how a small block Ford or an LSX will fit in there without much modification.

Not to mention a "430hp" supercharged V8 only just barely beating a turboed 1.6L. I love V8 Miatas, but that was unimpressive.

[xKillerKanabisx]

@NBSV1 well the v8 had street tires and the turbo four has semi-slicks.

[xgen20o8]

want one with the carbys =O

[SomersEmcee]

@ThePhan7em, not with the Lexus V8, all aluminium design makes it very light weight, plus it is placed further back than the original Mazda 4 cylinder maintaining its near 50-50 weight distribution

[ThePhan7em]

Putting a V8 in an MX5 defeats the point of the car, am wrong to say that?

[Tomrexxx1]

@ThePhan7em Not trying to start a youtube fight, but I belive so, Lightweight+Low center of gravity+v8=sex!

[ThePhan7em]

@Tomrexxx1 no i not arguing that a V8 is not good, i just believe it to be overkill for such a small car.

[emellis33]

I agree with all the comments about the boring design choices for the front lights and bumper. From the front it looks like a Honda Del Sol (discontinued). I think if they made single headlamps with some straight edges and angles it might help it look meaner and more desired. - just a thought.

[RAF71chingachgook]

Gag that front end styling job sucks! I think I am gonna be sick now...

[95TURBOTEGGY]

nice video :)

[fooschnickens]

Methinks they should have used that "advanced 3D modeling" on revamping the suspension to be able to handle the power instead of wasting it on that hideous bodywork.

[monstermiataman]

i loled at the STYLE BAR

[Skidracer21]

Aussie solution to seemingly everything: Put a V8 in it. No imagination, this bunch.

[Skidracer21]

and of course, certain American companies do something similar.

[davidcoomoora]

Bullet killed the mx5 fun

[LivinInFuture]

1. Start engine

2. Turn off engine

3. Start engine

4. Turn off engine

5. Sigh

6. Repeat

[Fruitypuddinpops]

only cool thing about this "bullet" is how the hood opens

[SneffySneff]

Hope bullet go bust. They're ruining perfectly good na mx5s.

[TheUNCC23]

dude, that supercharger sound is music to my ears. lol

[nicknickk]

CARS ARE GOOD BUT WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS DONE TO THE LOOK OF THE MX5? The MX5 looks good stock especially the NC model, have you guys done any drivetrain mods to this car?

[ahnowiknow]

Thank you for uploading this! :)

[0VeilSide0]

So there is a bullet Miata V8, than what makes the Miata MX5? Is the gun? Should we name it "GUNNER"?

[thefavs]

Sweet car guys!

[soucorp]

Sorry guys, nice engine but car looks like shit!

Front and rear looks like crap, might as left it stock mate!

[Np1358]

all that v8 supercharged crap...and it just beat the turbo... just ..Ha

[VuhJJ]

Flying Miata will toss a Vette LS3 into a Miata and keep the balance close to stock! Open up the firewall and move the engine back. 500RWHP in 2400lbs! That's not a Bullett it's a Rocket!

[HxCpoppunkCAAB]

@VuhJJ bullets are faster then rockets?

[macq1]

@HxCpoppunkCAAB some are much faster actually. 10 to 20 times faster

[Ratava252]

@macq1 huh? so the mazda has 100 hp......and the bullet has 1000 to 2000? math= nonexistent



[macq1]

@Ratava252 I was making a joke smart guy. Actual bullets and rockets and how ludicrous it is to call cars such things. Guess it was over your head. lol another aeronautic joke.

[The1320Addiction]

the money you spend on a bullet you could have 500hp!

[Raimondo988]

Bettini..Italians do it better

[esi4161]

Nice body style on the Bullet, but horrible balance, crappy suspension, and it looks like they need to work on their wheel/tire package to get the power to actually stick down. The car squats under acceleration and wants to drift off of every corner while the mx5 takes a great line, even with 300hp. Looks like an fun car, but very slow for a road course. 

[Rhythmeister]

That Bullet sounds pretty good but that video seems to say that a turbocharged and intercooled forged standard 1.6l B6 engine in an NA is virtually a match for a supercharged 4.0l V8 that'll use much more fuel and detroy the near perfect factory handling!

[gokartsRfun]

im about to start a 1uz swap into my 99 miata as a full on drift car

[69bakedskater]

@gokartsRfun I know a dude who put a 1uz in a s14 and uses it to drift , its beast as shit

[m11811one]

Bring the Bullet to the States and it would sell like crazy. Everybody would love to have a Roadster that does 5 to 60 or better.

[blockheadface]

Where did this video come from? And was the red car the supercharged version or the N/A version of the Bullet?

[wakr2]

@blockheadface

sounded like a supercharger?

[Shad0whearth]

not much better then allready awesome mx5... and standart mk1 looks way nicer...
