Speaking of your tired 1.6 Miata.....did I see that it was for sale? If so what's next for ya?

A work-of-art 1.8 Miata! Fully ground-up build.

As it currently stands, I think the 1.8 is a bit better than the 1.6. I think the biggest difference will be a little extra torque, which SHOULD help at Road Atlanta and places like it.

That said, I still take exception to the people saying the car is going to be a world beater in ITA and needs a bunch of weight. Kevin, you know I love you dude, but you are WAY off on this one. If, in a year or two, 1.8 Miatas are dominating at every track, then I will eat my words. A Miata dominating at Roebling is nothing new at all...that is the character of that track, long sweeping turns, no elevation changes, no slow corner exits. Front wheel drive cars in ALL classes hate it.
