1996 Mazda Miata
View Description
The Mazda Miata was Japan-s spiritual revival of the classic British Sportscar segment made so popular by MG, Triumph and Austin-Healey among others. Typically powered by a small 4 cylinder paired with a short geared manual transmission, the Miata has a reputation for being playful and dynamic, though not exactly fast or powerful. This has left much to be desired for the more bombastic driver. To solve this dilemma a grass roots community assembled and created what has come to be known as the Monster Miata! In various forms of driveline and suspension setup, a Monster Miata is a Miata with V8 engine. This example is fitted with a Ford 302 and boy is it a Monster! With a 4 barrel, 650 Edelbrock carb this baby sucks in air like a champ and huffs and puffs it out with a thunderous snarl from its specialty fit headers and Flowmaster exhaust. This old school brute power is handled by a Tremec T-5 transmission and a Ford 7. 8 rear end with 3. 71 gears....
