just got my cougar slammed and everybody and their mama wants to race me . well i was sitting at a stoplight and miata pulls next to me , yuppie types , anyway they take off at green . i was still flippin through the stations . i took of to with a bad launch , well i put it in 2nd and they saw me right next to them , then they suddenly just stopped , needless to say that was just a waste of gas . i wonder how my atx cougar would do against a miata . i only have a short ram .

As a rule, Miatas are known for handling - NOT acceleration. Not to say they are SLOW, by any means, but they're no RX-7...

Modded Miatas are fast as all get out.

Yeah; that Miata only goes in a straight line...

Actually, with that Thunderbird 7.5" rear... they've added some weight in back as well.... although I'd be surprised if a 7.5" can handle the power of a 5.0L for very long. Should've went with an 8.8 or a 9"
