Default miata with f20c dropped in it

Check out this Miata with an F20C dropped in it, using the S2000 gauges/ecu/other stuff as well:

why? seems kinda silly to make that swap when you could just turbo/supercharge the miata motor and make more power than the f20c. If he had fun doing it, tho, more power to 'em

He says he's going to turbo the F20 on top of it. That's going to have major traction issues.

It's a very clean install though.

Eh, I've already seen the Ford 5.0 conversion up close.

Why did they use an old-ass Miata? I'd have taken a 2G example and F20'd that one. The old one is such a dinky little thing; not that the current one isn't but at least it looks better and has a better interior.

Probably because it weighs the least, that's the whole point. Plus it's a lot cheaper.
