LOL....A miata of any 1989-2003 Years wouldn't come close to beating a GT of any of these years....82-2005....Now the new miata with the turbo might be able to compete with the older model GT's (notice i said compete/not beat) but no where near the modern day 99+ GT's. His friend lied to him....Yeah i think he's getting confused with an 1983 4 banger or something.....LOL

Yeah, look at that post like I'm nuts, feel free to take a look at specs from 98+ Miata's. Listed as running mid/high 15's stock. Sounds like 94-98 GT territory to me.

Actually my friend has a 95 GT with a cam and a few other mods and I still pull 2 car lengths on him. LOL

hmmm Must be the driver than....

Looks like you have a nice arsenal of goodies on your stang as well[sm=smiley3.gif]

Consider if both stangs were bone stock.... [sm=smiley4.gif]

Lol whatever. A friend of mine has a supercharged (6 lbs) miata and it doesnt pull any harder than a stock 99+. It would prolly take the older ones though, but even supercharged it's by no means NOT fast.

I don't know man, their so light... I wouldn't want to pull next to one... Miata's apparently are where the real power lie

RE: stock miata beating gt's

I have had both, well my family has, and the miata was alright, it was relatively quick, but it wasnt a neck snapping ape rape like my mustang is. . . doesnt even come anywhere near resembling close
