OoooKaaaayy, I don't think so. I'm sure it's fast, and maybe faster in an autocross (than a C5). 225hp won't outrun 350 unless it is WAY lighter. As for handling, it probably does really good. Light weight, good suspension and tires make for a good combination. He does a good sales pitch, however.

Wow, a Miata! How cute! :rolleyes:
Man, I can't help laughing when I see big guys driving "cute" "sports cars", like Miatas and BMW Z3's... :lol:

wow, thats a pretty mild one. Read in a mag a month or so ago that they dynoed a turbo miata at 400rwhp. :eek: It was running the 1/4 mile in the 10s. Jeez.
Still a miata tho. :U

OK, flame away, BUT: in 2000 I helped a friend to put the turbo-kit in his Miata. It will definitely not outclass a C5, but it is for sure in every respect faster than my C3 (427/390). It does have 230 rwhp. And it weighs in more than a 1000 lbs less. Handling and stopping IS awesome, albeit not up to snuff with a C5.
AND: It's NOT a Corvette! That's the one thing no suspension package and no turbo can EVER fix :smash:

The only thing uglier than that is that work of art by Audi....the TT. Oh yeah...I want to see that little red hunk 'o junk outrun my 435 hp. No way, Jose.
