If my 2.6 manual will easily beat the MX-5 ,then your 3.0 manual should be even further ahead. ;D ;D ;D ;D
I do have a suspicion though ,that Elite Pete's MX-5 has either been breathed on ,or is just an exceptional example. ::) ::) ::) :-* :-*
The ones that I have driven (a 1.6 and a 1.8)are no match for my miggy. :-* :-* :-*
Did anybody notice if Pete's MX-5 had a V8 sound to it. ;D ;D ;D :-*

I was hugely impressed with how the Migs did.

Given that with the Mazda you sacrifice space, comfort, quietness, smoothness and load carrying capability.....you would hope it could at least win in a short drag race  ;D ;D ;D

And it was actually quite close in real terms.

You forgot to add in the word straight between short and drag ;D

Autocar Magazine road tests.

Mazda MX-5....1.8 sport...0-60....8.2 sec.......0-100....24.2sec
Omega 3.0 Elite (manual)0-60....7.4sec........0-100....20.2 sec
Omega 3.0 Elite (Auto)....0-60...9.0sec.........0-100....22.9sec

3.0 manual faster to 60 mph.......and then pulls away further
3.0 Auto........slower to 60 mph than MX-5.....then slowly starts to pull it back.

That's what the figures suggest........Perhaps Elite Pete has already supercharged his Mazda;D ;D ;D :y :y :y :y
Manufacturer figures don't mean shite.  My auto, for eg, manages 0-60 in 7.7s.  I reckon, even though I can't stand the Omega manual box, a manual should be able to achieve 7s dead...

Manufactures figures also depend on some brutal clutch work, which I'm sure that most owners wouldn't want to do too many times.  :y

It must have been the two exploded cans of lager in the boot which made it faster ;D
