Turbo OR N/a

[HKSevo]

they should, then they would be good for something atleast...

[97talon]

Better than having a car with a hole stuffed with blankets...

[HKSevo]

blankets because your wife doesnt like ****ing on the grass at parks, so i toss that blankets down and she's ready

[97talon]

Weak. The blankets are to plug your car holes (lol) because you're an idiot.

How bout I settle this by saying the SRT-4 is crap and the evo is for people who don't have the talent to drive a car without computers to correct all their mistakes hahaha. Shi*s getting thrown around so I figure I could contribute to the storm. Sorry guys! I had to.

[97talon]

Interesting. I'm guessing mommy and daddy bought you a gti and you were named after barbie's gay friend?

Lol.

Actually, I drove a 2002 Miata that was modified only with suspension to attack downhill canyon roads. I saved four years through high school to buy it, where after I mopped the floor with every SRT-4 I ran into on the famous Mulholland Highway here in Southern California.

I sold it recently to buy a 125cc kart where I'll be competing wheel to wheel with some of the toughest competitors in all of California.

[HKSevo]

sorry but I would rather drive a srt4 any day of the week than a miata unless it was a ls1

I bet your go cart is faster than your miata ever was...

[97talon]

Srt-4 > miata.

[HKSevo]

srt4>go cart>miata

[97talon]

Wait, are you talking n/a or turbo go kart? lol.




But back on topic and setup can be deadly. Turbo's give smalled displacement motors the ability to hang with the big motors.

[HKSevo]

yea thats a good point

a evo or sti wouldn't be much without a turbo system, would be interesting to build one up non-forced induction but you would probally have to change out the internals for higher compression shit, even tho u would probaly do that anyways if u planned to run motor only mods

[GTIKEN]

The kart would be faster than the miata for sure, the SRT-4 is only faster than the miata when it comes to straight line speed or any track that relies more on engine power than handling ability.

...But then again, it has ~600cc more displacement than the miata does. I think the Miata put somewhere around 130hp to the wheels (142 at the crank), and 125lb of torque down.

The SRT-4 has to rely on a turbo 2.4L engine to put out 90bhp more. If a miata puts 200hp to the ground (which can be done for the money you save buying a Miata instead of the SRT) it's good-bye SRT-4.

Very true about the fact that smaller engines can hang with larger ones with the power of turbo. The only down side is it comes at the cost of the life of the engine which if you are in a racing environment (which this argument is arguably born from) can be the difference between being #1 and "what's his name?"

You'd be surprised what you can make a "low powered" Miata do if you have the balls to stay on the gas and keep your momentum up.

Shi* makes me laugh though, Miata is 142bhp with ~2400lbs, kart is 28-36whp with 142lb weight w/o driver. haha.

[HKSevo]

the price difference between a miata and a same year srt4 neon is not much at all

only plus side with a miata is rwd

[GTIKEN]

Yeah for me thats what it amounts to.

The other thing you have the consider is that the Miata will put down more of it's power more of the time unless it's a 1st gear corner. Get on the gas in a 230hp front wheel drive car and you get a nice fat feast of rubber when your wheels understeer and you take a nice vacation away from the apex.
