Larry,

I've driven the Miata, before deciding on a Tiger, and it is a sweet handling
car, but not great power-house.  The one I tested was supercharged, but the
boost was about 7 psi.  Now at a reported 14 psi, if he can get fuel for it, it
could be very strong (as long as it lasted).  That is an extreme boost for a
street car, and requires lowered compression ratio, auto-antiknock control,
etc.

Don't know what he's got in it, but recall that he wants to go around in little
circles.  The Miata has no Ackerman concerns, and it's turning radius is
smaller, so it may be a sucker bet.

Steve
