It's a drag car with a Gforce dog box, IIRC. The info on this page is way outdated, he is at 880 now. http://globalnetspace.com/miata/ Theoretically your right foot has intermediate positions between idle and WFO. Everybody talks about "uncontrollable wheelspin" and I don't get it. I'm running 225/45-15 nt01s on Elvis, 315 lb/[EMAIL PROTECTED] rpm and I never burn the tires. I guess I'm old...

How much torque? Does he just keep it in 5th and call it done? Can you even use 1st gear? I break traction in 2nd all the time, and I'm only like 240 RWHP.
