Miata as tow vehicle, not toad

Well sure the 4 cylinder engine is a little weak, that's why you replace it with a pair of V8s.
V16 Miata towing TT

I sure hope he beefed up the brakes too. Wonder what his towing mpg is?

    That short rear overhang helps too!


    It helps to have pictures.





    Some guys spend more time modifying something! It would have been easier to do a convertable top on a decent tow vehicle, like a truck?

    I saw a kia SUV the other day and my brain went haywire. It was towing a 26 ft. trailer and had bikes, canoe, door mounted towing mirrors. I ran home a googled and totally forgot about the borego model. Would have exceeded every rating if we used our v8 trailblazer.
