I supercharged my MX-5 to beat THIS!
Thanks to everyone who helped set up this race:

Just how much extra power does adding a supercharger (and a few other mods…) to your MX-5 give you? Well, we’re about to find out!
Mat’s brought his Mk2 NB MX-5 along, and it’s about to face off against a stock Mk2 & a supercharged Mk3 over the quarter-mile!
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the stock Mk2, it’s powered by a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder NA engine that can deliver 146hp and 168Nm of torque. It’s equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and this sends power to the rear wheels only.
Alongside it we have Mat in his Mk2 NB. Normally it would have the same naturally-aspirated engine as the stock Mk2, however, he’s had a couple of mods added to the car, including a supercharger! As a result, power is well up on the car alongside it, with the ability to put down around 190hp.
Then finally we have the Mk3 NC. As with the other cars, it would normally have a 1.8-litre 4 cylinder NA engine under the bonnet, but it’s also been equipped with a supercharger. As a result, it can deliver 248hp and 289Nm! It’s equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels, and it’s also the heaviest car here, tipping the scales at 1,100kg.
So will the most powerful Mk3 snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
