MILKJUG, Miata vs BRZ, and Pikes Peak
Build of the Week
ThatDudeinBlue reviews a build I think we all want to do: Hayabusa swapped Smartcar. 400 HP with a custom rear subframe that almost does a wheel on pulls. The turbo hayabusa engine sounds insane. What do you think of it?

The BRZ also wins the power battle with a whopping47 more horsepower (228 vs 181), but does weigh 406 lbs heavier. BRZ also wins in the quarter mile and braking tests. The Miata does win in slow speed roads in terms of handling. Which would you get?
