Let's take a car that's awesome due to how light, low and agile it is – and remove all these things.
How dare they ruin such a rare and pristine car
There's a company called Exomotive that sells conversion kits to turn them into dune buggies, so I assume the drivetrain must be good for that sort of thing (or at least good enough plus cheap and common) and
Yeah, but it shreds.
I bet it couldn't even break traction if you dumped the clutch in 1st at full throttle.
if only the Miata was a mass produced, affordable vehicle, regarded highly by car enthusiasts, with a thriving aftermarket for modifications and upgrades. Maybe there might be some ways to increase the engine power.
Oh well..
They're not really affordable anymore because they all got trashed by people doing stuff like this.
