Performance comparison?

[Steve Chryssos]

I agree, the goal did not sound to me like we were comparing against the spec-Miata at all It's just the BENCHMARK, your reference point so that we can all have fun in comparing lap times against one another.

Just like my 69 RS might run a 11.0 quarter mile at 122, someone elses car with a similar LS1 based motor might run 10.5 at 124.
It's not direct component comparison, but, interesting data none the less.

Yup, I get it. I understand. In response, I suggested the use of looser underwear.
