But one way or another if we get the Miata swap it'll more than likely run high 6s to flat 7's at first, then low, like 6.3-6.2s after some performance parts
Idk they tucked the ls1 into the rx7 so.....who knows nowadays what would happen. Im not much for it but I bet i would have 1 if it did happen.

They put the ls1 into the Rx-7 because a ls based engine is already in the Rx-7 Dragster, and is the only car with a cross brand swap.
