Where were you when you realized this car was faster around a track than both the Nissan GT-R and Chevrolet Corvette Z06?

Unless it's faster around pic related, it's shit.
>>14001583
Thats a tattoo of Australia.
>>14001568
at home in front of the computer
>>14001595
What's wrong with you?
This thread is going to get so many people mad.
>>14003433
brain aids
So a modified car is faster than a stock car.
Neat
>>14001583
Faster around Australia?
>>14001568
I was inside this car at the dealership
its too big to be honest
6th gear too hard to shift into
>>14003442
>a miata that's new and modified for track use, that still costs a fraction of some of the best street performance cars you can buy straight from the dealer, is faster than a stock car
FTFY
I'm all for trolling people but streets of willow is a small course, like Tsukuba, that requires a completely different setup than a normal course to be the fastest. It's kind of like comparing the speed of a cross country runner vs a sprinter on the sprinter's turf.
Also miata owner=homosexual
>>14003442
>and yet GT-Rfags insist that the heavily modified burgerking time-setting GT-R still counts as "volume production"
pot meet nigger
>>14003457
this is stupid
buying any car made after Y2K is a waste of time
you can buy one and modify it to be better than newer costs and it's still inexpensive or equal to the price of a low model cheap new car

>implying I'm a gtr fan
Not a big fan of awd
>>14003485
>Not a big fan of awd
so you are a fan of being slower?

its a trim level you dumb cvckold
stay mad corvette shitter
>>14003492
Not necessarily
>snek
>radicals
>>14001568
>a track
Which one? Anyway, we run this in the GT6 series every weekend anyway. Well, the older version.
I dig it but to be fair Streets of Willow is almost a kart track.
>>14001568
weight, chassis, and suspension design are all that matters.
bench racers will never admit this.
>>14001568
>streets of willow
>a track
in the loosest sense.
>>14003496
>its a trim level
so is this miata
>>14003507
horsepower means as much as anything else.
>>14003506
>>14003513
It's longer than Tsukuba.
>>14003499
those are slower than several AWD cars
>>14003525
Tsukuba is a literal kart track
Anyway are you people gonna stop using fastestlaps as a bench mark? That site is all bullshit. Pretty sure the only people who upload to that site is motortrend lol.
>>14003519
pretty much
the miata is for faggots tho
>>14003533
Street legal awd cars?
>>14003537
you should love it then

>>14003551
>b-but they aren't street legal
I tought you wanted to go fast
>>14003534
tsukuba is a good track for making comparisons though, unlike the nurburgring which is a tuning tool.
>>14003534
>Tsukuba is a literal kart track
Yet you get people here using it all the time in the Civic vs Camaro meme. Which btw cites best motoring season 2008 ep 5 as sauce, but the episode doesn't have a Civic in it. And it's also being faster than DC5 and EP3 Type Rs is a little far fetched.
>Anyway are you people gonna stop using fastestlaps as a bench mark? That site is all bullshit.
Agreed, look at the Willow Springs times and half of the laps are streets of willow times listed on big willow. (ex: Acura TL was tested at Streets of Willow by Best Motoring but is listed at Big Willow).
>>14001568
Where where you when you realized you're a benchracer faggot?
Also the miata is fucking great.
>>14003552
I actually do :^)
doesnt come close to the GTR godmachine
>>14003559
It's hard to go fast if it's sitting on a trailer or on a track with othe cars with possible inexperienced drivers
>>14001568
Streets of willows seems to always throw a monkey wrench at conventional wisdom. Seems to be the track consistently cited for cherry picking.
>>14003562
oh look its the same camaro fangirl that knows nothing what he is talking about

>>14003570
so to sum up, fags like miatas but love gtrs?
>>14003469
It's funded by Mazda so who cares?
And yeah, that's why I have a '95

You can buy an MX-5 Global Cup Car straight from Mazda for $53,000 and race it the next day with no modifications. And be faster than a GT-R. The funny part is that it doesn't actually have any gofast parts in it. $27,000 buys you a cage and weight reduction down to <2100 pounds.
>>14003891
>He paid $27,000 for a rollcage
>>14001568
Where were you when you realized a race car is faster than a road legal one?
I mean, who knew, right?
>>14003906
And for parts taken out. And a tune for 160 BHP, when tuners are already getting more than that at the wheels. So yeah, it's stupid, but it's still faster than a GT-R that's double the price with triple the power, or a GT500 that's the same price with four times the power.
>>14003891
And many other modifications, along with a pass to race in spec Miata. The suspension is tuned and I think all adjustable, and the engine is blocked off so you can't modify the engine.
>>14003923
You can't drive it on the street though right?
>>14003502
Does /o/ have a GT6 car club? What is it called?
>>14003923
On a tiny little track sure..
a $5,000 go kart is faster than a GTLM car.. on a kart track.
>>14003934
>And many other modifications
Not that many. See >>14003923.
>along with a pass to race in spec Miata.
There's no pass involved. You have an MX-5 Global Cup Car, you can enter it in MX-5 Global Cup. You still need a race license and shit. Also, Spec Miata is for NAs and NBs.
>The suspension is tuned and I think all adjustable
Non adjustable Bilsteins, same valving as the Club package, different springs.
> and the engine is blocked off so you can't modify the engine.
You can, and people do it all the time. It just takes a little more work if they use shear bolts instead of stickers.
>>14003460
>not sucking your bro after after the toe-gay in a Miata
What are you, a faggot?
>>14003942
I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I wouldn't really recommend it because of the cage and it might be difficult to register some places *if* they removed the cats (which seems like it would make sense, but if any manufacturer is going to put emissions controls on its racecars, it's Mazda). Apart from that they haven't changed anything that would make it not street legal.
>>14003979
Karts are faster than GT cars on any track.
>>14003942
I can't find a clear answer on any articles, but I found this
http://forum.miata.net/vb/archive/index.php/t-568291.html
which isn't saying much from a reputable source, but they seem to be saying it isn't street legal. And this
http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/2016-mazda-mx-5-cup-racing-car-costs-53000/
Saying that it isn't either
>>14004077
Miata.net posters have a tendency to talk out of their asses. Take disregard everything you read there that's not by Keith or Emilio. Nothing in the article implies it's not street legal. Maybe you should look up your state's vehicle code and see what's actually required for street legality. I can assure you, it's a lot less than you think.
>>14003966
Yes, see
