T3/TO4E Turbo Miata, stock motor, stock trans, etc, fuel system, tec III, and some other goodies, around 300whp and 14lbs of boost vs. E46 M3 with exhaust, intake, computer and other unknown mods. Oh and by the way it was about 20 degrees outside and the top was DOWN!!

Ugh that would piss the fuck outta me if someone threw on their hazards that fast!!!! ughh

Nah, it was cool, in many cases the guy in the lead will put the flashers on to let others know he is leading or at least to kinda rub it in, it's all in good fun.

you would have won by a lot if you had launched well.

[carman493]

There is a good possibility. But if you watch the video, you will also notice it takes a little long for me to shift between gears. I wasn't able to "bang gears" in the car because the transmission was still a stock unit, which broke on even lower boost levels. I hope I can buy my car back someday.

[tconik]

agreed, complete bullshit they say that miata had 300hp

[Jonathanowns]

on the highway.....when you get on a track..REAL TRACK...track with technical left and right turns...can beat almost any car if it is modded and a good driver

[wajalama]

Why DID you put the top down when it was 20 degrees outside..?

[lobomochilero]

@tconik agreed too!! 300whp miata would leave the M3 in the dust!

I know miatas can do well over that whith a propper setup... this one just doesn't have it

[redmed427]

NO i know, he just put them on TOO fast. 5 seconds into the race? come on lol

You obviously have never driven a miata...

I have an 03 with coilovers and suspension upgrades, and you can throw it around ANY turn you desire with out a single worry, its amazing. Anyone whose driven one, or even better one on coilovers knows exactly what I'm talking about. My brother has an M3 and ill tell you it cant take corners for its life in comparison to a miata. On striaght road yes itll eat an unmodded one, but on a track even a stock miata can pull on an M3 if you know how to drive.

[carman493]

There are Miatas with over 400whp from an unmodded engine, stock engine from valve cover to oil pan.

[26inchesonimpala]

just because you don't have 300whp doesn't mean it doesn't exist mate.
