Miata Toying With Some F-Bodies

[RotorNutFD3S]

This was posted up on another forum, here's the explanation that the OP gave:

... I was hanging out with some friends earlier today, taking some pictures and getting some videos. A couple of the f body guys decide they want to run each other. Camaro vs Firebird, should make for a good race. They run, Camaro takes the win.

Someone decides it would be cool if I start ahead of the LS1s with the camera mounted on my rollbar facing backwards to tape the race. They were concerned that I might get in the way though, so we decided to do a test run w/ me against the Firebird to see how big of a head start I would need in order to safely tape the race...

Well, after that we kinda forgot about mounting the camera on my rollbar, just sit back and enjoy the video. :giggle:

My favorite part is where kotomile (who is from Augusta, GA and has a nice turbo Miata) leaves a reply along the lines of "Not bad for FWD" and the V8 guys fall for it. :lol:

Welcome to Awesometown.

Who's this dude in Augusta with a turbo Miata?!?! I've only seen one here, but it was an Army guy that's since moved away.

Why do I always LOL when I see races like this and people starting them like F&F?

Probably same guy. He lives in California right now. This is his Miata, which his dad is keeping for him at the moment:

IDK? Pretty sure races were started like that way before F&F was even a concept. Or so all the hot rod builders in my neighborhood tell me, some even have video. ;)

Matt's car is pretty cool. He more or less copied my 91. I mean blatantly copied too, he told me after seeing mine and what it did. :lol:

We 'squirted Matt's car at my house. Myself, Rob, Matt, and a buddy of his. That was an airfilter I happened to have in the garage and the breather hose is clear flex **** that was from home depot up the road. :lol: Too bad the army took Matt to California.

Nice. His life must really suck...livin in Cali with a turbo Miata. You happen to know if he went to Monterey?

[RotorNutFD3S]

The Miata is at his dad's, not in Cali. He has his OTM there, an SRT-4.

Matt is/was active on the Myspace Miata forums - talked to him there often... before it got more mundane than IA there.
