Miata vs Cobra

[noobpies137]

How do you miss first ...

[Inuyashatg98]

needs a driver mod

[hsvbrolsma]

How do you miss 1st gear?

[JD0x0]

@hsvbrolsma yeah seriously. Is that even possible? Youre supposed to be in first before the tree even lights up. Theres no reason to throw your car into first from neutral when you have a clutch. From there it's as simple as removing your foot from the clutch with the revs up and BOOM takeoff. If you miss first gear in a drag race you are legitimately retarded

[recruted]

now for the real test 1/4 mile times the mustang gets to 60in 4.3 seconds and throught the 1/4 mile in 12.8 and the camaro does the same tasks at 4.5 to 60 and 12.9 ((((point being trucks are meant to haul not race ))))

[deadeyedickification]

the only time Miatas are fast is when they have GOOD motors in them, i.e. LS1's and so on...

[HxCpoppunkCAAB]

@deadeyedickification thats bull because this is a stock 1.8 ltr engine with a supercharger dumbass

[deadeyedickification]

@HxCpoppunkCAAB yea dumbass just like i said...SLOW

[HxCpoppunkCAAB]

@deadeyedickification  look liked it just raped the mustang what are you driving? miata mx-5 rapes

[deadeyedickification]

@HxCpoppunkCAAB wtf do they "rape"???.....besides their own asses? i drive a cam-only '01 t/a WS6. its runs 12.43 @ 114.8mph in a 1/4 mile on STREET tires. please tell me you have a miata that runs faster than that so i can laugh alittle...

[wajalama]

@deadeyedickification You've got to be kidding. Maybe you've never seen a mildy tuned Miata, but there are ones with the stock 1.8 liters pushing out around 400-530 whp. And in a car that still weighs 2100 lbs, that's fucking fast, whether from a dig or a roll. Why the hell would you put a V8 into a tiny car like that? To mess up it's weight distribution? Not to mention that a domestic engine swapped into an import's is just wrong.

[deadeyedickification]

@wajalama ha! so you're saying a "mildly" tuned 1.8l Miata pumps out 500rwhp? who are you trying to BS besides yourself? sure as hell isnt me. you're not talking to a 17 year old rice boy. look at ANY video of a LS1, LS2, LS6 or LS7 Miata and ask the owners if they have a problem with weight. those are aluminum engines guy. the weight isnt much greater than the 1.8l. so dont tell me a mildly tuned 1.8l will crank out those numbers. stock LS1 Miatas can outpace some Ferraris. search it and see...

[wajalama]

@deadeyedickification "Who am I trying to BS"? Alright, you don't believe me? I'll send a link showing you one that has 530whp running on a 1.8. And even adding 100lbs onto a car might not seem like much, but it shows and you can't deny it. If they were so great, why doesn't every car get swapped with an LS1, LS2, etc.? You make me laugh. Why don't YOU search it and see, hmm?

[deadeyedickification]

@wajalama you said, AND I QUOTE, "Maybe you've never seen a mildy tuned Miata, but there are ones with the stock 1.8 liters pushing out 400-530 whp." but that son of a bitch in the link was no "mildly tuned" Miata. an engine that size with that output costs an EASY 20K. you can buy a 390hp LS6 for $7,500 from Turn Key Engine Supply, a set of PRC Stage 1 LS6 CNC ported heads for $1,200, MS3 cam kit for $800 AND all the necessary swap parts and have the same or greater output for LESS money.

[wajalama]

@deadeyedickification Who gives a shit how much money you put into a car? It'll still be way cheaper than all those expensive as fuck super-cars and whatnot when you blow by them. If you want to save money, you might as well just stop tuning you car when you hit your budget limit of an "EASY 20K" since you didn't set a plan on how much money you'll spend. A fully built Miata would be cheaper to build than buying a BMW 1 Series M for God's sake!

[deadeyedickification]

@wajalama i feel you man. respect...

[wajalama]

@deadeyedickification Thanks for understanding man.

[69bakedskater]

Haha i love reading all the comments by butthurt shit cars i mean mustang fans.

[speacialperson12345]

missed first gear? uhh i dnt think thats possible...

[zorro4u20001]

Wow MrCheif1up; to you imports are for faggots. If that means imports like the AC Cobra's- I can take the trash talk from the mis-guided? By the way; Miata's are the same weight, length, wheel base, tires and with a few tweeks of the engine-the same horsepower as a 1966 AC Cobra! Carrol Shelby took an import and made a car that American's idolize. THE MIATA IS A MODERN DAY COBRA!!! The monster miata's are what the 1000lb overweight (it's the big butt) Ford Cobra's want to be.

[Bighomie620]

how can you miss first??

[pudgeround24]

haha that was my friend on my youtube account. i dont give two shits bout cars lol

[blbjav3]

that dude talkin needs to shut up how the hell can you miss 1st gear?

[sgtdarkness1]

No, the Miatas are the only Mazda still made in Japan. Own an 08 and have done the homework. Nothing on the Miata is made by Ford, geeze who told you that??

[pudgeround24]

the miata tore that mustang up and that mustang was a gt it is a 89 and that mustang wasnt catching up the miata has the top end on a mustang gt cobra expecially a 89 and it was a cobra not a LX 150Spoke9 is retarded u can modify bumpers those didnt have to be stock rear bumpers

[MrAMERICANxMUSCLE]

looks to me mustang was catchn up.

[150Spoke9]

Not Bad For 2 Pistons Missing = V-6, It's A Lighter Vehicle Compared To The Ford Mustang LX And Not A Ford Mustang Cobra. You Can Tell By The Front & Rear Bumpers And It's Not A Ford Mustang GT!!!!!! Look Up For Reference In Google Images And You'll Know I'm Telling You The Truth. Nine9eniN

[Bowerso]

That Mustang has all Cobra running gear, on a different day it turned high 12's, I drove it myself and got a 13.4 out of it (bad tires then).

[tearlejc1]

not a criticism, just curious - why do you use capitals on every word?

[150Spoke9]

Just happens to be my way of typing.

Nine9eniN

[lChupacabra]

Why didn't you capitalize every word in this post?

[Techtronicz]

The stock Miata 1990-1997 is a 4 cylinder 1.6/1.8 Liter engine.. Not a V-6. That said, there's no telling what he actually had under the hood, but it definitely wasn't stock.

@Bowerso - You seem a little upset about losing to a miata. Don't worry, you're not the first. ;)

[Georgenfla]

Those Miatas are damn fast cars! They easily beat V8 amerikan cars.

[wellsbryanjason]

Miatas are domestic...made and engineered by Ford Motor Co :) just like the Mazda B series pickups and Ford Rangers come from the same factory.

[SuperRanger17]

They are made in Hiroshima Japan and only the current model has a version of the ford Duratec motor, which Mazda reworks into the MZR.

[jdizzle659]

i never use first gear at a drag strip. get better times starting in third

[milkymike375]

what do you drive?

[jdizzle659]

it was a joke cause apparently this guy missed 1st and 2nd gear, so i'm assuming he started in 3rd

[zYzmrZIzYz]

missed 1st gear, missed 2nd gear, starting at 3rd ?!

[XenoRacing]

so what was dropped in the miata? Ford or Chevy engine?

[Bowerso]

It's a stock 1.8L with a supercharger.

[ib7510]

@XenoRacing This comment makes you look ignorant. You don't really need an engine swap to make a miata fast. The 1.8 with no supercharger is still fast.

[XenoRacing]

@ib7510 Dont take the internet so seriously. :|

[shamp00p]

hahahahaaha, missed 1st gear.

[zYzmrZIzYz]

how does he do that ??? lol

[kingcr3b]

lol you have been pretty damn stupid, like me i miss 1st and reverse, jk. Dammit i missed first gear again, oh i think you can start in second.

[apancher]

i was just about to say! how the hell do you miss first?

[rockaugust]

sounds like a ricer excuse haha

[PAC0TAC0]

that mustang must weigh a shit load

[BoostedOneSix]

And thats not even a real cobra.

[BoostedOneSix]

Lolll how do you miss first gear?

[RaDeuX]

Everyone has excuses. The Mustang lost, period.

[bajacore]

+1 he won't be telling anyone about that one lol

[Soffex]

missed first gear? LOL

[Wolfos2540]

That's harsh I've got a mustang!

[Georgenfla]

Wow, the miata really can do a number on a Cobra mustang, thats for sure! I dont understand why somebody would even waste their money buying an expensive cobra, when they can buy a miata. So stupid.

[crf150yo]

apparently all of you turds have a sense of humor.. because fighting over fucking youtube is a BIG JOKE!

[ph3n0ms]

how the fuck do you miss 1st gear? someone tell me

[jlmorris]

I was wondering that to...?

[dlygrind]

Apparently you can miss second as well if you're a complete idiot. Real men take it straight to third!

[heartaches2]

well comparing a 302 to a 350 is kinda stupid. comparing a 351 and a 350 is a little more fair. but i own one of these miatas. they are badass with a little work done to them... rear wheel drive, limited slip. all u need is some horses and your good to go. the V8 swap or a turbo really is all u need for a good handling race car

[Triple88a]

you're right, thats a big difference however a 350 on 4k lb car vs 302 on 2.4k lb car is a where the money is at.

[Triple88a]

haha look at the hateful comments, they crack me up.

[HYBRIDhater]

both suck anyway the 5.0 is actually a 4.9 ford has always had an ego problem with REAL vehicles such as chevy like the 350 5.7 they had to got to 351 5.8, wich is still funny cause a 1982 K-5 blazer stock could beat a 1982 ford bronco stock its hilarious

[MdoGGiZZel]

how is that hilarious?

[HYBRIDhater]

u obviously dont have a sense of humor maybe u should drink something and get happy instead of being so senicle

[jrhager84]

Do you mean "cynical" you fucking genius?

[HYBRIDhater]

wow, ur cool u can correct people on their spelling

[onlydarkguard8]

your a moron

[HYBRIDhater]

no im not

[MdoGGiZZel]

no I have a sense of humor. its just not funny unless you have down syndrome you fucking idiot.

[recruted]

@HYBRIDhater ok new ford mustang 5.0 vs chevy camero 6.2(ls3) the mustang may have less hp but hp per liter the cmaro is at 68.02 hp per liter(422 hp) and the stang has 82.4 hp per liter(412 hp) and  then you look at weight camero curb wt 3860 vs3,605 for the mustang and the camero mpg is16 city/24 highway and the mustangs mpg is17 city /26highway mpg now to the Weight distribution of the cars 52% front / 48% rear for the camaro and a stang 54% front / 46% rear

[recruted]

[Treycq]

hey an easy way to end all this import vs. domestic bullshit is that the mazda in this video is actually powered by a Ford v8. If you want to have a fast import, install a domestic V8.

[Constantine1222]

its true, monster miatas RULE

[MrChief1up]

Ok so you say mustangs suck huh, Why is its an ongoing joke with EVERYONE IVE EVER MET (THAT WASNT A FAGGOT), That imports are a fucking joke , I dont even waste my gas racing Import trash. The only Cars that are worth my gas are Cars With LT Or LS engines In them...... also why is it that a fucking NEON SRT4 owns so many cars? Every car can be capable of going fast, some are actually made for it....Sorry Imports... they are not ment to be raced, cant you people see,there deadly projectiles.

[Bowerso]

Imports are not ment to be raced??, hmmm don't tell Ferrari, Porsche, Mits EVO, Subaru STI, Audi, Supra, NSX, Nissan Z, RX7, Aston, Peugeot, Lotus, Mercedes Mclaren owners that...

[JgHaverty]

Uh, are you aware of what a "supra" is? not saying thats the only one, thats just the most popular. When your mustang can handle 1400 ponies on a stock chassis, let me know :)

oh yeah... the supra can also turn on a track! (not with 1400 hp, but you get the idea).

[MrChief1up]

A Supra yeah im aware if you stick that much money into a mustang or anything for that matter it will fly, you dont realize what it would cost you to build a 1400hp supra, gimmie that cash to build the right car and ill compete........fuck id be souping up shelby cobras

[JgHaverty]

Of course its expensive... Im not one of those retards that thinks a supra can handle 1000 hp on stock internals. I know it costs good money. However, the supras are AMAZINGLY well balanced, and able to be daily driven with extreme horsepower numbers. A Mustang would not.

[pudgeround24]

haha shelby cobras are my favorite expecially the gt500 but they are not all that quick u obviously dont know shit about mustangs i love them to death but they are not that fast now you wanna talk about speed lts talk about the audi A3 2.0 or the audi TTS cause they will put a mustang were it belongs in the stables haha and they will be stock

[Dominuce]

If imports are meant to be races how come every muscle car that showed up in my supra turbo review mirror got reduce to a spec hmmmmmmm

[pudgeround24]

wow dude u obviosly kno nothing about top speed ill put down money that a MAZDA MIATA 93 with twin turbo super charged and magnaflow exahust will down a mustang with the exact parts the mustang will have a higher acceleration but wont get pass 160mph my miata withch is the one a explaind about gets 180+mph its not all about acceleration

[raceman946]

@pudgeround24 hahahah, a twin turbo supercharged?

[micheld1234]

@pudgeround24 he may know nothing about top speed but you don't know nothing about engines... TURBO SUPERCHARGED?? come on man... you only see that with cars like the GT-R or the Koenigsegg or whatever it's called... NOT IN A 1.8 MIATA

[bmx391xmb]

@MrChief1up: any car that is a fast car is a good car. and mustangs are kind of inferior on a real circuit track... a solid rear axle doesnt make for fast cornering, and they are pretty heavy.

[micheld1234]

@MrChief1up HAHAHAHAH you got owned by "Bowerso" 's comment...

[srrymonkey]

@MrChief1up You're very ignorant, Your GM car is probably made somewhere other than USA, because alot of cars aren't made where they have bought from... Especially American vehicles. and Imports aren't meant to race? Seriously are you that Bias, Just because they don't have a V8 does not mean they are not meant to race, yes imports take a little more to get going, but at the end of the day, both got 4 wheels, a steering wheel, and an engine.

[ib7510]

@MrChief1up You don't race imports because you don't want to emberrass yourself.

[zzkambe]

@ib7510 LOL... obsolutely, theeee best comment on here.... You made my day!! thanx!

[orchidtender]

@ib7510 you spelled "embarrass" incorrectly. 

[lumbermouth]

@MrChief1up lol you're pretty funny

[walterwaller]

@MrChief1up

You are STUPID!!!

[nstag8r03]

@MrChief1up I dont see Ford or any other american car in Formula 1, the true race car. Even TOYOTA is in Formula 1.

[MrChief1up]

Ok so you say mustangs suck huh, Why is its an ongoing joke with EVERYONE IVE EVER MET (THAT WASNT A FAGGOT), That imports are a fucking joke , I dont even waste my gas racing Import trash.

Every car can be capable of going fast, some are actually made for it....Sorry Imports... they are not ment to be raced, cant you people see,there deadly projectiles...

[trollface321]

i'm not a fan of the mustang but i still respect the cars they're still fast

[Georgenfla]

CarrolShelby1, if I want any of your lip I'll scrape it off my zipper. Go back to being a redneck plowboy, and leave the real cars to us men. Have you told your Mommmy that you're getting a sex change yet, you little sissy? Mustangs are just another way to say, "FORDS SUCK!", or "Made in Mexico". Stupid little girlie!!!

[JgHaverty]

You do know mazda is owned by ford, right?

And that miatas use an american made engine?( BP blocks).

Good call you moron.

[jonomir]

you mean 34% partnership?

[JgHaverty]

sure, but you realize that ford owned most of their production? I.e. look at a mazda tribute vs a ford escape.

The BP block was designed by ford, used in practically every car with a four cylinder that ford and mazda had. Hell, Kia used it!

[sweetmeatz]

thats why mazda was using the BP in 89 and ohh wait ford didnt see it till..whats the year??..hmm ohh ya 91!!!..kia 95..i love when DD's rape 1/4 mile cars..

[pudgeround24]

the miatas dont have american made engines moron the oly thing american about them is the rear wheel drive u moron

[Georgenfla]

Mississauga, the Ford Mustang has never been an American icon, it's always been a piece of shit! Further more, anybody that would own a mustang needs to give some testosterone injections, because mustang owners are pussies! If you want an American icon, go to Walmart and steal one of their shopping carts...that's an american icon!!! Go for it mustang driving walmart redneck pussy!!!

[Carolshelby1]

First of all you stupid faggot. The mustang is an american Icon you dip. And second of all your not funny and your definately aint smart. Shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down before a real man fucking comes by and beats your fucking ass. Shut your fucking mouth. What do you drive a fucking minivan and so you think your cool. Shut up for christ sake!

[tuner562]

Stock 5.0 running high 12? Are you kidding me they ran like mid 15s stock buddy. Stop pipe dreaming.

[steeldragon20002000]

yeah, i came to the conclusion, just like sports, everyone hates a winner! it eats their hearts out.

[steeldragon20002000]

people have nothing to do but make fun of mustangs.

[Bowerso]

There are 2 reasons for this: 1) they are everywhere, every block in America has one, 2) some of them are incredibly fast.

[signfid376]

and some of them are silly slow

[Bowerso]

Yes, lets talk about the Mustang II with it's "powerful" 140hp 4.9L V8. Let's see, my 1.8L puts out over 200hp and I think I am around 900 pounds lighter..

[miamaz]

Lord, how I love this video! Mustang drivers are not pussies, they just think a long throw is what it takes. He just grabbed for the wrong stick. Miata men may have a short throw, but they make it count! It's all about handling vs. horsepower. Ask any woman - no one wants a floppy shifter.

[Georgenfla]

That makes me laugh every time I see that big bad American junk getting beat by a 1.6 liter Miata. My Aunt drives a Miata, and my son's friend has an older Mustang Cobra. I always threaten the kid with the mustang cobra that my 67 year old Aunt is going to blow him away. He says, "Yeah right.", but he is afraid to race her car with me driving that 91 Miata. Mustang drivers are such pussies!!!

[mississauga5litre]

its too bad that you hate on an american icon. i guess we know why the states is going to shit; because faggots like you buy imports and send your green outside north america

[JamesCameron1]

LOL how do u miss 1st gear???

[JgHaverty]

engine moves and pops it out of place. Its really a lot easier then it sounds.

this guy missed 1st gear obviously. Look at him fall on his face.

[Ej205scoob]

dumb rednecks, missed first gear...yea ok, missed second gear...maybe if you suck. Face it you got beat by a car with LESS than half the liters of ur crustang.

[ihav3mains3]

and what do u got?? a girly miata?? go solo crusing lmfao since u dont have a girlfriend.

[Ej205scoob]

lol spec miata is girly? just owned ur crustang, i also have a wrx that will own ur crappy crusty mustang.

[Georgenfla]

Damn, why can't the americans build a v-8 car that can be a MIATA with a little 4 cylinder. Thats why is funny when americans refer to their junky cars as being "MUSCLE CARS"! They should be "IMPOTENT CARS", not muscle cars!!!

[antiomni2]

Yeah, you should hear all the kids talk about how their v6 (not even V8s) mustangs are muscle cars. Its like, uh, noooo.

[ihav3mains3]

whats really missing power is that miata...with only 100 hp.. even that crappy honda has around 150.SAD.

[tonetone253]

well u can actually miss 1st gear if ur not holding on the to the shift knob while u launch the car wheel hop from excess wheel spin can cause first gear to pop out i see it alot at he the tracks and its happn to me a few times

[driftslave]

Not to be a dick but thats fucking SAD! Supposedly 400hp and the best you can muster is a 13.44?!! Even if you screwed the launch your trap speed should be WAY higher. I've seen bolt on 5.0s with rust run faster than that! Why would you post a pathetic video like this?

[Bowerso]

Because I own the Miata! BTW this same Mustang ran high 12's with differnt wheels and tires..

[driftslave]

Thank god. I've seen bolt on 5.0's in the 12's on stock wheels and NT555R's.

[Bowerso]

I drove this car a quite a few times, it was silly how easy it was to smoke up the tires, it was really hard to get it to hook it up with the rubber that was on it.

[driftslave]

LOL....yeah, tire choice tends to be extremely important with high torque US sports cars. It's nice to have almost maximum torque at virtually any RPM but it can make it a pain to launch unless you've properly setup the car.

[sheeblue01]

Thats funny... A 5.0 with trick flow heads etc etc getting its salad tossed by a miata.. I LOVE IT!

[dectrone]

that was a really gay remark

[ray512122]

I wonder how you miss first gear? Did you start in neutral? Also that Cobra looks a lot like an LX.

[Bowerso]

not my comments, the LX has all Cobra running gear, all roller motor Trickflow upper & lower..etc etc etc.....

[JgHaverty]

its easier then it seems

[ray512122]

Please explain how because missing first gear is not possible.

[JgHaverty]

you clearly have never been to a drag strip.

[ray512122]

Oh I drag race all the time. My friends and I belong to Standard Racing. We drive a mixture of manual and auto trannys and i still have never heard of anybody missing first gear so once again explain it to me.

[dustydrifter4]

im gonna steal ur car

[sheeblue01]

Can you explain to me how you go about missing first gear? Im curious

[blackjackwabam]

nice!!

[mx5rush]

I've got a supercharged miata and this is how many of my races go! I get most everyone out of the hole, and then they are trying to run me down! If they've got enough, they might walk by around 75 or 85 mph.

[Bowerso]

I was wondering what kind of fuel management your using, or any tricks that don't involve a $1500 ECU,I am at about 10 lbs. of boost, I am using alcohol injection for intercooling and octane boost.

[mx5rush]

None! Just the AFPR that came with the JRSC kit. I just missed a cheap AEM EMS and regret it! Surely could have gotten a handful of HP out of real standalone control over Fuel and ignition! I just bought a retard box so I can bump up the timing. Still paying off my 3rd differential replacement from those hard launches.

[98tadriver]

hey where are ya located? we can run for shits and giggles against my LS1.

[Bowerso]

Located in south east PA, I'll run you, as long as I can use the V8 S10, or the V8 RX7....or if it's snowing my 69 Beetle..

[98tadriver]

hey whered my comment go? lol i wasnt being an ass or anything
