MSM VS spec Miata

[IPRESS]

Merv's saying what i said earlier. In the right hands the MSM would be a good match. You have to know that I am SM biased, but the right guys (SSB experience) can throw those stock suspension cars around those corners pretty good. With that said it is just like my specmiata.com sig says "Nothing Corners like a Spec Miata".

If you ned any off track or spin testing done on that MSM call me, Merv can do the other heavy work!

Well, it's not quite what the spec records are at Hallet, but given how the car was setup I think I did pretty fair... 1:36.9 was the fastest... had about 6 laps in my last session that were under 1:37.3..

(FM DP, enthuza XR, 9psi, 205/45-16 V700s)

FWIW, the MSM cooling system doesn't handle a track day well on it's own.. 3 laps at speed, then one cooling lap were pretty much required to keep from pegging the temp needle.

There was a SCCA T3 setup car (rented for the day) running about 1:39-1:40 on 235/40-17 RA1s.

Was the T3 car a silver MSM? There was one running in the COMMA event in March but I don't remember the times it ran.

Yeah, I'm sure it was probably the same car... Ti MSM with a lighter silver hardtop. Stock 17" MSM wheels....

Apparantly it "lives" in one of the garages out there at Hallet for various events/rental car.
