Agreed! I bet you could turn those tires into molten lava no problem, it's easy enough to do in a Corvette! If he's ever able to move from a standstill it would probably go like a mother****er, until gear shifts anyways, haha

you dont know what youre talking about n00bie...go read a consumer reports or something before you start talking about reliability or quality. the miata is one of the best selling and more reliable cars ever built.

and the v-8 conversion has been around for a while. there are people doing the viper v-10 conversion now.

and as far as traction goes, thats not true either. there are people who race these so they obviously have traction...you just have to modify the drivetrain and wheels/tires.

Yah a miata with a corvette engine isnt to rare anymore i have seen a few with the vette engine and a few with a twin turbo rotory. They only weight around 1800 pounds with either engine and can run a quater in around 11. They are really mean, and a corvette engine like that stock has 385 horse and over 400 ft/lbs. As for drifting, if you can keep it from spining like a top then it would be awsome for that cause all their would be is tire smoke and squealing. Even thouht it might seem dangerous i still want to take one out and pound the hell out of it.

I can't see how it can be good for a car to put so much weight on one end...

Most of its potential will only be good at a 1/4 mile track. I just can't see him turning so well at high speeds.

do some research before you make statements like that.

Wow there I didn't state a fact just an opinion. All I have to go by is the pictures and I don't know if he/she has done proper modifications to the suspension. Why don’t you just do some more careful reading before opening you mouth.

why does everyone assume that an LS1 is any heavier than the 1.8L iron pig that was in there? Plus the weight is probably more towards the firewall so it might actually retain the 50/50 balance. In Nissan conversions, the LS1 engine actually improves handling because it is lighter than an SR20 (Much smaller, and all aluminum-displacement means nothing about the actual external dimensions of the motor, pushrod engines are much smaller externally than their OHC counterparts). the Ls1 block only weighs 90lbs. Go pushrod pwer.
