Fast little red sucker. Not by much tho. Rolling start at 30k he *jumped* ahead, from a dead stop I had him until halfway thru second. I was surprised how fast it was. My 97 cobra is bone stock, down to the factory air silencer.

The car was clean for a ricer, no wing, no momo, no bling. Nice and subdued, and plenty of go-fast.

No matter, I will take my plenty-fast-for-me, has full load of options and stereo over rice-mobile anyday. Wait till I finish the 427 stroker for the 86 coupe.

dont worry....you're not the only thing from Alberta to get beaten today. It must have been the one import guy that knows what a "sleeper" is.

If you're gonna get beat by a ricer,that's probably the best guy/girl to do it,a non-riced ricer.

My Mustang 302 powered Miata has surprised a few people too. It doesn't look stock, but it doesn't look heavily modified either.

That's cool, have you ran it at Mission?
I bought a longblock off a guy from North Van who used to own a shop that did the monster Miata conversions back in the mid 90's. He had a customer order the motor with a set of fox-lake ported GT-40 heads, E303 cam, 1.7 rockers and a blueprinted shortblock. The customer's wife put a stop to it so he still had that motor sitting around when he shut down his shop so I bought it off him. It ran 13.18@107.9mph on streets in my 3250lb stang so imagine what it could have done in a 2600lb Miata?

MOD that Cobra up and go back out and find him...... and then smoke his ass...

I guess for a non riced up ricer it must have had some go fast goodies under the hood that were doing it good... just not stickers and Sam-squanch (TP Boys) size wings.. dubs.... and 8000 watt systems with 4 tv inside the car.. lol anyways...

like I said mod the cobra or go and get him with the 427 stroker 86 coupe..
