  • Read more about my blue MX5 here: goo.gl/dvoXb. Rather than just blitz the 'Ring in 7mSomehing, KarlH followed my little Mazda around for a lap on the recent www.Trackdays.de event.
    My MX5 runs a home-brew turbo with a chinacharger, HSD coil-overs and Ultra-Racing ARBs. To read more about this car and the Nurburgring, visit www.BridgeToGantry.com.

    the mx5 is quick and has sick mods but the c6 remains superior in almost every aspect except the light weight feel. the chassis is pretty advanced, very well designed, all aluminium, better stability at high speed, engine is naturally aspirated so better throttle feel, very good sounding exhaust, the exterior design is much better imo, probably more reliable as it is since turbocharging puts more stress on components, strong chassis, safer and no rust issues.
    mx5 is still very good, with exceptional handling and easier to maintain.

    yeah i know they drive lik a dream i own one but shes kinda sad right now i bought it for $600 not knowing if it ran (yes it was stupid i know) had some soft top, paint and body damage light body just minor hail storm caused it and now come to find out its got the FACTORY shocks i asked him after i found out he said "they never felt bad so i didnt have them done" the thing bounces down the road lol but it still handles decent oh and its got 185K miles but its getting changed in a week

    most car newbies on youtube need to watch this race when they talk about how "fast" one car is than another. depends if there are turns or straights and the tuning, maybe a mix inbetween, depends on the track or the tasks the car needs to accomplish.

    The miata driver seems to be a little bit too aggressive on the turn in. It looks like the balance of the car gets upset. But then again with a car with such a short wheelbase. needs to hit the apex late so it can get the power down on the exit.

    Agree anything can race anything its called putting money into the lesser vehicle. But in this video that vette driver wasn't even trying every time the vette willingly reeled in the miata he laid off. That vette coulda over taken that miata a hundred times and when he did he gave it back. The second lap if shown woulda been different 10:50 on that vette poured it on like it shoulda at 9:20 the vette was tracking the miata warmin up for lap 2. Rewatch it an pay attention please?

  • @testacorsa150
    @testacorsa150 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don´t be an ass. Anyone can see the corvette is going of the gas all the time, including the poster of the question you answered.
    If a 20 year newer car, with a hard roof and 400 more horses under the bonnet can´t easily beat a miata, the law of physics and evolution have stopped working.
    The impressive thing is that the old mx5, with a suspension from today, keeps up on the twisty stuff, and maybe even gains a little.

  • @xXxTheLimitxXx
    @xXxTheLimitxXx 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got mine for about $400 almost no rust. It started kicking out blue smoke out the tail pipe, so the owner was about to junk it. So i took it off his hands not knowing what was actually wrong with it. I figured I would have to replace the engine. But after I got it back to my house. Closer inspection revealed all it needed was a valve cover gasket =) Im currently building it up now. Should have a worthy canon carver/track day car by spring! Let me know the progress on your mx5!

  • @rotor13
    @rotor13 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    on race tires, you can run a lower pressure for more grip.
    the 32psi rating is for daily driving tires which sacrifice performance for economy.
    I run 12psi on my drag car..... should i run 32psi on my slicks? Would that get me better than a 1.5 second 60foot time? or 0-60mph faster than 2 seconds?

  • @DrainPipeJoe
    @DrainPipeJoe 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    For you all that think this was a race, read the description of the video right below the video. The Corvette was following most the time. This Corvette does the ring in low 7 seconds while the Mazda does it in the low 8 seconds. This was more like a video shoot and not a race.

    Oooh, that looks twitchy as anything. I'm in two minds about FI in a '5. On the one hand, its fun as it is. On the other hand it would be faster... but somehow more serious. I don't image you could take as many liberties with it when bombing around at 100+!

  • @clydeyello

  • @MrDannyd9
    @MrDannyd9 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hahaha that makes sense. I was about to say I kno those things can fly through the turns. I've found with some standard tires at the 32psi rather than 35 psi they get a little bit of tire roll (it feels like) but it just sticks the turns, over and over. There is a reason the mx-5 gets the #1 spot for thrills per bills every year!

  • @MrDannyd9
