I'm considering hitting the real track instead the 19th/20th. I didn't recall that there is a NASA event at NJMP that weekend, or assumed that I couldn't make it. But I can. Haven't been to the track yet this year and I have a 2 day credit with NASA because of having to cancel April's track weekend, so it's really tempting.

cant blame ya for that pearl. maybe your ghey miata is scared of our 8s lol

jk buddy kecks car would probably give you a run though

If I recall that he is >300whp, then yeah, he would probably win. His car could easily be lighter than mine too, and if not, it's probably close.

I would pay to see that race

I would be literally paying to see that race with a blown motor!! lol

I drove the 8 yesterday pretty hard but still have not redlined it. I need someplace really flat bc it is tricky watching the a/f readings at those speeds. Now that I live in the hinterlands!!

I am sure the miata is faster. I have the grand touring model. Plus miatas are always faster.

I miss my msm. Still have yet to ever see another Lava Orange one. I see a LY RX8 like once a week.

ill drive it to redline for ya mike and you can watch the gauge. i saw a msm yesterday, same color as pearls. it had a wing on it like the ms 8 wing. was that a factory option?

RIWWP

iTrader: (2)

Oh, I was thinking that the comparison was to your MR2 (unless I have wires crossed somewhere and it is someone else's MR2 that 200 keeps referring to).

Yeah, I'd almost certainly win against your S/C 8

All MSMs had the same factory lip spoiler from the factory. Anything else would be aftermarket.

The factory one:

the msm i saw yesterday had a wing that looked like a smaller ms wing for an 8

mike is a dick and sold MY mr2. you bastard keck

RIWWP

I can only find this one that might be close enough.

i think thats it

Yikes that spoiler is hideous! Prob just a punk high schooler that threw a $20 eBay "mazdaspeed" badge on his POS one.

I do appreciate the LOM pic too RIWWP.

Honestly your MSM might have been faster than my mr2. It only had 270 tq at the wheels. But a MR layout should take a FR layout from a standstill. Weight distribution was a "fun to drive" 33/66 !

RIWWP

iTrader: (2)

I am somewhere around 210wtq 230whp at the moment. Even though I'll pick up more power from the tuning, torque won't climb much, if any, and I would still be power limited at about 270whp, and torque limited around 240wtq from engine strength limits.

2,490lbs here, 52/48 weight distribution as of my corner balance. I'm pretty sure the MR2 would be faster.

that mr2 is a rocket ship that tries real hard to kill you. riwwp to beat that car all you need to do is dive into a fast corner lol

Yeah I forgot how portly the MSM was. Crazy that my base MR2 with no power steering only weighed around 2700-2800. Granted after the motor swap it was prob 3000-3100 but it was a much larger car (relatively speaking!).

Argh... back when I was cool and owned sports cars....

A Co-worker of mine just came back from a vacation. He took his bike on RT-125(per my recommendation). He said its one of the best PA roads hes been on, and to watch out for cops




Edit: neat vid.

iTrader: (9)

looks fun buddy but theres no way thats a pa road, its missing the potholes/craters.

keck sonic said to look for cops, maybe we can borrow shells radar lol

sonicsdaman

iTrader: (3)

Yeah it doesn't look like a PA road at all

If you get enough cars then have 1 go down the length of the road to check for cops along the way and park at the end of it to update the group via walkies.

Or hire a bandit to throw them off your trail...
