Hopefully never.
I wouldn't want a Chevy anything in my 8. I wouldn't want a V-anything in my 8 either.

That Miata doesn't look like the tires could put that power to the pavement very well at all.

I would also wonder how well it handles with the added weight up front/torque out back.

I have actually driven something similair to this...someone had ripped out there miata engine, and put something in like 3 times the size...it was a blast to drive...

However, i would never do something like that to the 8...

That is almost as weird as the ATI Terminator Focus.
