    First Drive LS2 V8 Miata

    Finally went for my first drive, still needs mufflers and alignment, next week.

    Really Nice ride. Well done. It is clean. Did you also use the transmission built for the corvette or is the transmission you have better than the one for the Corvette?

    How do you keep it cool? It looks a bit tight in the engine bay. Definitely a car I would like to own.


    P.S. You don't need mufflers, do you?

    I'm grinning at the thought of that sound from the V8 coming from the unsuspecting little body of a Miata, lol.

    I could imagine someone seeing that 'vette badge on the hood of the miata and thinking how much of a poser you are, until they see you screaming to 60 mph in 4 seconds. Awesome stuff man, keep us posted.

    Sweet! I love the Miata V8 and V12 conversions!

    Single side exhaust behind the front wheel, or run a 2.5-3 inch all the way back?

    Its called the egg nog ownership test - write your username on a piece of paper and stab it over the gear shift, take a photo and post it here.

    That thing with no exhaust must be insanely loud! Nice work and a helluva sports car.

    Wow. This is incredible win.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
