Rear end strength - N/A vs. Miata
Just curious if anyone has thought about this. The gear sets are the same except for the pinion shaft length. I would think they would be about the same. The Miata has more gear sets available than we do.
And while I'm on the subject why do the 2nd Gen cars have that long pinion shaft to start with? Is it just to clear the rear subframe?

The Miata torsen diff can easily support 300hp.

www.solomiata.com has lots of diff info.
Did you keep putting the early type diffs back in the '91? That's why...

Uh, if that were true, then how come we're NEVER HEARD OF THEM? And in any case, we KNOW you use and like their diffs, we GET it. THANK you.
