At Hyperfest, Larry Chen uncovers a beastly Miata with a staggering 800 horsepower - enough to make your hair stand on end. Despite hitting 10,300 RPM, the dyno registers a slightly lower figure due to a minor slip. This Miata, born from humble roots in Spec Miata MX5 racing, has undergone a jaw-dropping evolution from a modest 100 horsepower to its current monstrous state. With a K24 bottom end, BC rods, and CP Pistons, this Miata is a force to be reckoned with on the track.
The journey of this Miata hasn't been without its challenges, from alternator failures to water pump leaks, each hurdle was faced head-on and conquered. The car's weight of 2430 pounds, fueled by E85, is a testament to the dedication to performance and speed. Sporting a widebody kit, a beefy 295 Square Tire setup, and a Cadillac rear end, this Miata means serious business on the tarmac.
The relentless pursuit of perfection continues with plans for reinforced drivetrain components and a revamped wiring harness. Safety is paramount, with twin fire suppression systems ready to spring into action if things get too hot under the hood. An advanced AIM Dash keeps track of vital data, ensuring that every lap is a step closer to reaching the ultimate goal of hitting 156-157 lap times. Larry Chen's discovery at Hyperfest is a testament to the unyielding spirit of automotive enthusiasts pushing the boundaries of what a Miata can truly achieve.
