    I think I should provide more information about the car. This is not a "race car" in the literal sense of the word. It's a normal road car. I drove it to the event and back home afterwards.
    It's parked on a driveway waiting for the next adventure. No matter what it is: a road trip, a trackday, a gymkhana, drifting, nurburgring, you name it. It has no specific purpose, apart from providing a joy of driving.
    It wasn't optimised to be outright the fastest car out there, it was optimised to be a great fun whatever it does. And yes, I like the oversteer quite a bit :)

      Now think about this a 6.0 Ls V8 buttttt cut in half so its only a 3.0L V4 ½LS & THEN sequentially turbo'd to say 600hp
      (easily achievable ) ppl Turbocharging a 4.8Ls can get 800 on a bone stock internals. An 1200hp on a 6.0L Ls , an Texas Speed engine builder's get 1500 -1700 outa a 7.0 . Back to the V4 IT would weigh at least 100lbs less an be way better for Mx5 50/50 weight.
