Top 10 Tuner Sport Compacts
The sport compact has always been a special segment of the modified automotive world, with smaller displacement engines and an emphasis on power to weight ratio. Love them or hate them, sport compacts and imports have powered the industry of the aftermarket to where it is today. After all, not everyone can afford a supercar and the increasingly rising fuel prices make tuner sport compacts very attractive.
Mazda Miata
An incredible handling open top roadster, the Mazda Miata has shined as an excellent tuner Sport Compact car since it's first model. Turbo kits are very popular with the DOHC 1.6 and 1.8 liter engines, and are capable of handling upwards of 400 horsepower on stock internals. That's tough.
Many people also check into swapping a 5.7 liter LS1 into a Miata, which is a tad harder than some other swaps. For a guide on swapping the LS1 and other related articles, make sure to check out My Pro Street.
