k-lea said:My goal for the Miata is 350rwhp. It's a rather easy thing to reach considering the turbo will be upgraded but I am sort of iffy with it. I will be the FIRST to say that I am still learning this car and it does pull some tricks on me here and there.
Also, I've heard the stories of a 450rwhp Miata (Warren, represent!) and how it's a bia to drive and deal with. I want my car to be driveable and I believe if I slap 350 on there it won't be as fun to drive. Straight line? Sure. Turns? I'm not so sure about those since I already have to watch myself.
As far as riding my car so damn hard;
I drive the car like I feel it should be driven. Remember, this is NOT my daily vehicle atm. Miata's have this aura, should I say, about them that ASKS to be driven hard. I know that when it was my daily it was driven easy due to the fact that I had nothing to fall on.
I see it as I've dumped around 4k in this car and I want to put it to use. Isn't that what this is hobby is? Spending the money on your car and watching it grow in performance and fall at the same time?
I couldnt agree more with everything you said. I mean the miata is a nice, fast, small car that is freakin fun to drive. Oh, and they look great too.
