How To: build a death trap

Miatas are well-known and well-loved for their neutral and predictable handling. I personally own one and love driving sliding it on track with hard tires. How exactly does one tune a Miata so that it wants to kill you on every corner exit? Apparently, this team had just added a really stiff anti-roll bar in the rear. Heavy springs, toe out, and too much rake may also have contributed. Next time you want to experiment with “loose is fast” try these tuning tips.
