1. All Miatas are rear wheel drive

2. They drift as well as any RWD, though power is not high in stock form

3. 1.8 liter engine: 140 hp; Mazdaspeed Turbo: around 170 hp

4. In the mid 200's with aftermarket turbocharging

5. It's one the best sports cars for the money.

Re: random miata questions...

The stock block can support well over 300 there is a miata that runs like a 10.9 400hp and she says she never opened up the block.

with a nice turbo they can drift well with skill. they get sideways fast but backwards just as fast. becasue they are fairly short.

I just sold mine that I bought modded I loved it but hated giving credit to the guy I bought it from so I sold it. now i'm buying another one and going to mod it myself the right way.

i'm only 18 had it for a year love it except can only fit one girl in it when the tops up.
