That is indeed one fast mazbo :) the best things is that it doesn't look fast. It just looks like a normal mx5 with some wheels

The young lad in the fiesta who kept asking everyone what power their cars were running asked about the mx5. I told him it was stock lmao.
 
haha :p

I remember when someone with a VRS came up to me at the last Pod meet I went to and asked me what power my Octavia was running. He looked more confused than shocked when I told him it was running 91.4HP dyno proven.

"Did you say 191.4?" he said. "Nope!" :D
 
I'll sort videos that I took ASAP, but just a thought from me around my own car's performance relative to others.

A Focus RS mk3 with 350bhp will do the 1/4 mile in around 13.3sec standard.

My STi dyno'd at 279bhp standard and ran a 13.3sec 1/4 mile.

Now my STi has 350bhp and ran a 12.4sec 1/4 mile. Obviously modified vs standard car so not really comparable, but I thought it was interesting.. :)

Perspective is a wonderful thing. I've just done some searching around and MotorTrend tested the 2016 5.0 Mustang GT @ 12.9 110mph for the 1/4.

The stock Mustang does the quarter in 12.8-13.1@107-110mph typically.

If I ever launch mine correctly and cut a sub 2s 60ft I stand a good chance of hitting 11's but that takes two things. Someone who is very good at drag racing and has no mechanical sympathy.
I was able to do a 115mph terminal and was still not flat out for the whole run or rowing the gears as quick as possible, other owners running same mods as mine are crossing line at 117-122mph, it just takes practice or some big burn outs and getting a lucky run. :D

Just in case it came across in anyway I wasn't making a dig at you.

As you say, to get good times you general need to drive balls to the wall with very little sympathy. I'd say there's a good couple of tenths if not more making keep it flat to floor for the entire run and shifting a bit faster.

The big improvement in my times was when I started to shifting closer to 7500rpm rather than 7000

Realised how loud my car was today, chasing an AMG down and all I could hear was my car even when he was booting his.

What is really bad when I pull off from the failed burn out it looks like I get a real good launch. Then when I go to actually launch the car it mess it up and just wheel spin through 1st and 2nd. More practice or just throw slicks on the back. :D
