LS7 Swapped Miata Hotrod TRACK TESTED In-Depth Look

Today we take an in-depth look at a good friend's LS7 V8 Miata passion project. He's an OG Track DIYer and this has been his labour of love for over 15 years. This build required his determination, attention to detail, and persistence in the face of adversity, but it's resulted in a sorted and cohesive package that's meant for the street but slays on the track.

De-stroked LS7 Fast Facts (forgot to mention in the video):
Bore size (in) 4.155
Stroke length (in.) 3.268
Displacement (cu.in) 354.5 = 5.8L
Redline 7200RPM

Huge Thanks to Terry for allowing me to review his car.

I may not be Max Verstappen but turned a fair few HPDE laps over the past 20 years and raced W2W for a number of seasons. There are faster drivers out there but I'm pretty consistent, fairly quick, and most importantly, passionate about motorsport. Contact me if you want your cool track car featured in a video.
