We have 3 different packages available for the Miata... Cheap, Fast, and Smooth. You can have any 2. :clown:Quote:

I wouldnt say 14s is fast though..
This discussion would actually belong in Other Motorsports.
Moved.
Back in the past there was some discusion on 1/4 Mile Times. I haven't been to a dragstrip in a long time, would be to give it a try again!
My mustang ran a 12.5 at 112 MPH on 9 PSI boost and it drives ok..
But I would be happy with a low 14..
Ho-Hum.......you're trying to compare apples to oranges. A Miata is a sports car, meaning that it handles very well. It was never designed to be fast in a straight line. A Mustang is/was a muscle car, doesn't handle very well but goes like a bat-out-of-hell in a straight line.
More comparisons:
Miata................................Mustang
-----................................--------
light weight........................heavy
nimble...............................plows
responds to all driver inputs...responds to throttle
4-wheel independent susp.....solid live axle
fun in the mountains.............fun at Sonic
Fun on road courses.............fun at drag strip
girls like them......................guys like them
Are you getting the point yet?????? :drive:

Oops, you asked about NAs. Dunno. Shouldn't be impossible.
S.
I'm thinking I can get my Miata in the 13's
I want the miata to do both..
And it can be done... but it won't be cheap. Miatas typically don't respond all that well to NA mods. I've seen some 150+whp NA Miata motors, but they're pushing the limit of what I'd consider a streetable engine (i.e., one that doesn't idle at 2000 rpm, one that you can drive on the street without earplugs, one that takes pump gas, etc.)Quote:

Wow... 3Beans car must be really fast! :cheese:Quote:
