sorry for the slow replies fellas, had to go to class, but anyways, for the record I wasnt ever mad, and i dont understand why EEK is so persistent in flaming miatas, i respect your motor and im sure you car is a pretty nice street car, but what the hell is up with flaming on miatas? sure theres gay men that drive it, women that drive it, but theres also people just like you that are car enthusiasts that drive it (do a little research on Spec Miata and youll find out), and maybe the miata isnt for you, thats fine but i did my research and the car with the right price with the right specs was the miata for me, so if you dont like the miata thats fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinion but at least respect me as a person by giving credit where credit is due. thanks.

A lot of ppl don't realize how much fun it can be flooring it and turning. it probably wasn't fun for you b/c you got beat by a miata, >>>> J/P!!! <<<< i don't have any hard feelings, just trying to get ppl out there. and btw, i'm not a champion, yet, but thanx for the props!!

On the contrary, while the miata motor is not efficient at high rpm, it is an extremely efficient turbo motor. The B6P and BP motors are built to withstand high amounts of boost and are not very prone to knock.

I've seen the Miatas make 200+rwhp with a turbo kit and minimal other mods, so I know they take to turbos well.
