Seems like this apple didn't fall far from the tree - very slippy when slow, prone to the death slide

Thx Prange, the avatar is my track day miata, which is a factory turbo ('05 Mazdaspeed MX-5) now running 21lbs of boost with a bunch of aero mods and a pretty hard core suspension. I ran the car for years at 11lbs (~220 hp @ wheels), no aero, modified SM suspension, gutted and caged, and it was great - basically an SM with twice the power. Since bumping it to 21lbs (~300hp), it's been tough to sort out and frankly it kinda scares me. 300hp in a 2300lb car means it likes to understeer and power oversteer simultaneously!

June Sprints are too far from home, unfortunately. I'm in New England and very seldom venture past NY. Plus I've gone kinda cushy since joining the Monticello club a couple of years ago, and mostly just drive there. They've got a great club Miata series where I run the SM, a '92 1.6L car decked out in baby blue and orange.
