Impressive indeed. Still, as an enthusiast, I think it might take some getting used to not getting to rev out the engine in spirited driving. All that torque sure would make rocketing out of corners fun though.
427 TQ is just for starters. Once that car gets chipped, it will be 500TQ plus EASILY.
I think the starter in that BMW makes more TQ than the Miata's engine.... ![Smiley :)](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/smiley.gif)
Hey! It's not a Honda! Sheesh!

500 ft lbs, eh? What's the new Duramax diesel put out? Oh yeah... big numbers don't necessarily mean it's sporting in its feel.... just that it can pull a large hay wagon around the field.
