I still think know a 3 litre omega, manual, or in this case automatic will destroy an mx5 in in gear acceleration, as the poor mx5 driver found out when trying to show off to his girlfriend with the roof down. Never under estimate the power of the omega!

No it doesn't mate, it was proved and not just once I was there too laughin my ass off. . .
The race was the shortish runway at York . Had the runway been a bit longer yes the Omega would have won but it wasn't. . Fair and square the MX5 won   ;D

mid 60's to mid 80's (in most peoples minds the golden era of F1), half the field ran around in turbo charged 1500's...it's not the size, its what you do with it that counts  ;D

Err no it won't, the MX5 was not trying.

Any decent MX5 will leave the lardy-ass Omega behind, seen done at York, against one of the best 3.2 Omega's around  ;)

wife had a 1.8 mx5 and it was great fun, handled beautifully and was definitely far nippier than the elite - theres still nothing better for cruising the motorways than an mig tho - horses for courses  :y
