Isn't the Miata engine block one of the strongest ever used in modern automobile manufacturing? I heard somewhere it's capable of withstanding 300 hp.
I knew a guy who raced Spec Miata. Rode with him at Willow Springs - he never once touched the brakes after going WOT.
The car was that fast at not being that fast.
For cost and reliability reasons, he gave up a 911SC for the Miata. That says something, IMO.
