That's the miata motor, there's alot more potential . PS there are no 13 sec n/a escorts running around currently known. The reason? Fast and furious kids with nawwsss and turbos got them all caught up hehe. I wouldn't mind being the first in a 3rd gen to break into the 13's n/a in full trim, wouldn't mind being the first 3rd gen to break into the 11's in full trim with a custom turbo setup and built motor either haha..

Another thing to consider is 127or so crank horses factory on that miata motor there. probably 105-110 ish on the ground so 60-70 whp from a mild pnp job and cams doesn't seem half bad to me.

My car only puts out 110 crank horsepower and 132 ft lbs of torque factory. As the dyno proved haha at 88whp and 110ft lbs of torque with an automatic in it. I should run low 16's high 15's in my car with an intake tube and header to stock exhaust. My car weighs in at 2400 at the moment. Using my 1/8th mile times/mph I can calculate like 124whp with just very minor mods. These cars have just not been looked into enough is all. I mean look at the 2.3 really. When it came out it was a big POS with no power and not much more torque. With alot of support that motor flew. Problem is the 1.9's, SPI 2.0's, that are in the escorts,and the SPI 2.0's in the focii just aren't supported and toyed with a whole lot.
