Try Stroms miata, I'm about 100% sure you could.

I'm done trying to convince people that the car doesnt need more power. I've been driving it around for 10 days and I've never ONCE EVER felt the need for more power. And I can tell that even on the AutoX course that more power isn't necessary for how the car is setup in stock form. Any more power would be a liability for 80% of drivers out there, IMO.

But, if you feel the need for more power, so be it. It's not my place to tell anyone what they need in a car. I just wish people would feel the same way and stop telling me my car is too slow...

interesting to see what this post evolved into; there are some good arguments on both sides... but you know what it's all boiled down to?

P E R S O N A L P R E F E R E N C E

imagine that huh?

oh, you think it doesn't have enough power? that's nice.

oh, you think it has enough power? how awesome of you.

oh, you think it has too much power? (well i guess we don't have any grandmothers in this forum).


who cares what people say about a car you own / don't own, you shouldn't be butt hurt either way.

it's been a great discussion, that's what forums are for, but opinions are opinions gents...


on a side note; any new awesome teardown pics to share?
