Much goes into the words "properly setup". The engine mods in the Miata are one thing, the suspension is another.
That car was not designed from the factory for that kind of power, and the stock suspension and braking would be lacking. Sure it could go fast...... but. You become the suspension engineer when you build that much power into a car designed for 155 horses.
From your pics it is obvious you know enough to set the
whole car up.
My point was the vette comes from the factory with systems more capable of high power operation.
