That's my idea. Some sort of crazy powerplant ( Turbo stock engine, SR, modern v8, etc...) Widebody and a cage.

But there's one problem.
I CAN'T FIT!

How can I move the seat back? I'm already on the back wall

anything can be done with fabrication. you'll just have to relocate the seat track mounts farther back.

I wouldnt mind a miata, they handle like nobodies business. Everytime i go to Brooksville to autoX theres always a stock miata thats dominating.

The newer transmissions have shorter gears...the 6 speed has a higher ratio 6th gear than the 5 speed's 5th. The difference is the differential; 3.9 vs. 4.3

Stock internals of the 1.6 can handle close to 300 at the wheels. Differential cant handle stock power though. 200rwhp would be a fairly well balanced car, keeping in mind that the early first gens (NA) weigh 2000-2100 lbs.

"Wooping" nearly any Civic is not impressive at all.

Also, use the fucking edit button.
