Found this one today racing an Geriatric 1.6 Miata vs. the New Miata
Small block? I thought this was going to be a V8 vs. ND. She wasn't driving it hard enough.
The old NA held its own...just couldn't keep up in the straights.
I was thinking the same too! He was driving like he stole it!Quote:

Wonder which engine they used for this video. The European has two engine choices for the ND.
There's a 1.8 and a 2.0 NC in Europe. I'm pretty sure the ND is 1.8 only but I may be wrong.
As for small block, you knew damn well those two words usually precede V8. My 49cc lawnmower has a small block.
The "published" plan for the ND (at the moment) is 1.5L worldwide and 2.0L US-only. Tax thing.
So, now the folks in Europe get to import US grey-market Miatas. LOL.
Oh, and I thought the gal racer in the NA was pretty cute!
My 1.6 self-identifies as a small block.
So, it's a trans-block?
No, but I see an open diff in the future.Quote:
