Get a turbo; don't get a V8, it'll upset the balance of the car.
Cool recommendation bro.

Are you talking about a or a ? Please be more specific, you're causing unnecessary confusion!










(for those who don't get it, see the RL thread)
Well played! Either one would throw off the balance of the car because one (V8 juice) is too light while the other is heavier than the stock engine.

V8 Monster Miata, forget about handling or balance or whatever. Get the V8.

Then why get the Miata in the first place, as opposed to a used Mustang or Camaro? The Miata is about being balanced and agile; for more power, a turbo or s/c should suffice.
