come on Greg, tell us what you really think...

[DoubleXL240Z]

a really well prepped meotter with a really well prepped driver could win every race it ever entered... That being said anything else would result in any number of other scenarios!!

c'mon greg, say something biased and rediculous again. i'd love to hear it.

anywho......

Yes. a 1.8 Miata can be competitive at any track just like most of the cars listed. there are tracks where it is "more competitive," and if you're somewhere that needs big torque or ultimate top end speed against some top-notch competition you might be in trouble though.

<----building 1.8 ITA miata.

It's "ridiculous", Travis, not "rediculous".

Ah, tGA, you are not up on the hip language of the internet youth (see also "y0", as in "mad skilzzz, y0"). The language, like the times, is evolving. To bad it seems more like de-evolution (we are not men), but evolution none the less.

I think "competitive" would be an understatement.

How about: None of the others stand a chance because it was classed based on the lower of the two hp avalible in it's spec line. Which is contraty to the normal SOP of classing based on the higher hp avalible in the spec line. This will only last long enough that several people will decide to build one, then the weigh will be upped to it's proper place, and we'll hear moaning noises from all those who decided to build based on the current weight. Go ahead and build one, but you'd better get a MOOOOOve on

Or, you could buy Rob's car and anticipate another weight break where the Miata and the Z3 are within 50lbs of each other.
