    Why? I don't get it.

    Honestly, a stock miata MX-5 is an amazing autocross car. Put some power behind it and it can compete really well in both autocross and straight line. Very respectable and underrated cars.

    I should have been more specific. The thing about this I don't get is the jaguar v12. It is pointless when for less work and less money you can have a more powerful v8 that you can get parts for.

    A twin turboed miata is bad to the bone, but with a real engine in it.

    Only response i have then is: When people have enough time and money, they will put anything into anything.

    Note: the above statement is not limited to vehicles.

    I think it's cool because it has a Jag V12 in it, plenty of Miata's have 5.0's and LS1's. But then again I'm wierd and like British cars and especially bikes, yet hate their accent. And 6 two barrel Weber's is just bad ass

    I am just too biased. The webers are cool. The jag v12 not so much.
