There are some videos that are flat-out awesome and
there are others that you can’t help but watch and just say “dayum, that
was sick!” The above video just so happens to be a card-carrying member
of the latter group. As a fellow Miata owner, I am slightly biased here...
This dude not only dropped an RB26 engine from a Skyline
into his second-gen Miata, but he also pulled off one of the most
bad-ass saves we have ever witnessed. This Miata launches from the
starting tree and all is well, as it pulls away from its competitor
until suddenly the back end of the Miata starts wagging its
900-horsepower tail all over the track.
The
quick-acting driver manages to pull the reigns on this wild ride and get
her going straight again. After all of that the Miata still crossed the
finish line in just 16 seconds, which is faster than the majority of
the cars on the road today.
The video ends with the
guy operating the camera catching up to the slick driver and asking him
what happened. It turns out that the car overheated and popped a freeze
plug, which caused the coolant to spill all over the track. When you mix
any liquid, especially coolant, with slick tires and 900 ponies, you
are definitely in for just a little bit of tail action...
