12.7 @112mph...not bad, but personally, i wouldn't say it was good enough to have that license plate (there are a number of V8's that do better in every state, every town).

nice car though! great job!

Pretty fine Miata. Pretty damn sure it is fast enough to beat this V8.



Questions, though. What is the elevation of the tracks where you have timeslips? And what was the weather like? I only ask because I am wondering if maybe weather shaved like three seconds off your times somehow.

Just hope you don't run into this V8.

Anyways, happy modding. That's the best part of own any car.

We are only about 800ft above sea level here....or a least where I dynoed.

All those #'s are with my FM II set not the current which is about 30-40 more rwhp est. actually its kinda difficult to explain for those that dont run at the track and on the street the car is brutally quick on the street. (I have 4:30 gears ) top speed is about 155mph(gear limited)...but it will hit 140 in about 20-22 sec's. I ran a 408 mopar cuda in a roll on that just finished running 11.7's @ 114 mph. and pulled him about a car. (I can not beat him from a stand still.)

The car is still my daily driver...Iv'e put 18k miles on it this yr. so far it still has AC,pwr steering,cruise, electric windows, stereo and gets 30mpg hwy. Im a dealer and have several cars this is my favorite. *Thanks for checking out the site.
I'll be at the NOPI nationals in ATL sept 21-22 Id like to check out some of the forums rides if any of you will be there.

Bassmaster...that's a really nice car. Tastefully executed. If it weren't for that license plate you would have a dream sleeper. I've always though about picking up a used miata or mr2 to "tinker" with.

Nice ride.
