Thanks to Sarasota Super Sport Performance (3SP) for sponsoring this video. Go to ( www.sarasotasupersport.com ) to learn more about 3SP's performance packages for the current generation (ND) Mazda Miata!
( www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! You wouldn't exactly call the Mazda Miata a star drag racing car, considering it's set up for handling and agility above all else. But what happens when you swap a rip snorting V8 under the hood? That's a different story, as Tommy and Kase find out drag racing this LS-swapped Miata against the brand-new 2024 Ford Mustang GT and our equally new Porsche 911 Targa 4S!

A LS swap with a curb of 2790lbs, and 50/50 is insane.

@gofetchdesignllc2235 6 дней назад

Hate to sound like THAT guy, but it's the most impressive part of buying something like a used c5z or c6z. 3080 or under with zero weight reduction, 50/50 and a FAR more capable chassis. Even a regular coupe isn't far off and its not difficult at all getting them to 2800-2900 lbs. I was very close to LS swapping my last but the smart money is on the vette. That said, the experience in a car like that is pretty non trivial. I've driven many cobras, own a blown vette and a viper but an LS3 Miata would be an entirely different animal.

@92rednotch 12 часов назад

Not 50/50 anymore. As a GM guy, I love the LS, but the swaps are tired.

@NBSV1 7 дней назад

That’s why LS swaps are so common. Old style pushrod engine makes them more compact. I’d like to do one with a short stroke LS built for high rpm. You don’t really need the high torque in a light car so making it a high rpm screamer would be fun.

@dub88acc 5 дней назад

I think thats the point. Considering a Lotus Emira with 400+ hp and even a cayman gt4 are all north of 100k. So this is around that ballpark. You're paying for someone else doing the research and putting in the sweat in order for you to daily drive it.

@spcneary 4 дня назад

@@dub88accvery true, people try to put these in the same box as a stock Miata or a mustang GT, it’s so much more than that. Honestly what a value, if I had 100k-140k to buy a fun car and already owned a a daily and a pickup this would be in my top 3. I used to work at a Mazda dealer, the RF is a very good car from the factory and much more worthy of a v8 than older models.

@AmericanDuck 4 дня назад

@@dub88acc I understand what you mean, but this is not a Porsche or Lotus. Much of the engineering has already been accomplished by Mazda and Flyin’ Miata. The cost and labor of the parts is at a premium. There is no reason to buy this car if you can get those cars with loan and a full warranty or a lease. It’s a very expensive novelty otherwise that most people that enjoy Miatas are going to balk at. If you undercut those cars with a better price, then you’ve got a great opportunity to make even more money because of a value that will increase the company’s profits through volume. Everyone wins. Maybe they are doing it that way, but it doesn’t seem like it.

@Roddy451 2 дня назад

I lived in a place where engine swapping was very common. The craziest ones I watched were a Volvo 240DL with a big-block V8 and a Suzuki Forsa with a 1.8 Toyota engine. Needless to say, the Miata is my cup of tea.

@davidblalock9945 6 дней назад

Just imagine how much more insane it would be with a 345 HEMI. Dave Friburger already proved that with just a cam it can produce 496 hp. With the right cam, springs, rockers, and valve relief in the pistons, I’m thinking it could push mid 500’s.

If you have some mechanic know-how, and browse the used market, you can build this yourself for under $45k. Under 100k mile 2015-2019 Miata's are going $13k-$19k in my area, so you can find one dirt cheap if it has issues and high miles. LS3 engine off a 5th gen Camaro under $5k or find a low mile mild built one for $10Kish. New T56 magnum for under $4k. Used rear end with fresh rebuild under $1,500. Engine mounts, ECU, brakes, axles, and other misc parts $5Kish, probably less. That's under $40k on the high end. Don't forget you can sell the stock parts you pull off your Miata.

@roguedogx 7 дней назад

Before watching- honestly I don't think so. Even with a V8, the MX-5 still has fundamentally less grip on launch, and the power to weight ratio isn't enough to make that up in the quarter mile.

@roguedogx 7 дней назад

18:30 okay so depending upon what gear and speed, I think this is where the Badger will take it. The manual gearbox will allow the MX-500 to get right to max power right away, the 911 will have to build boost and pick a gear. couple that with the Mx-5's top end advantage, and I would be the 911 will just steadily fall back as the speed climbs.
