525hp V8 race Miata on the track

What do you use as a chase car for a 525 hp Miata on the track? Another 525 hp Miata, of course. Crank the volume for this one.

The black car was built by Flyin' Miata for a customer, who's on his first track outing with the car. It's got a 6.2 liter LS376/525 crate motor, which is rated at 525 hp by GM Performance Parts. The transmission is a T56 Magnum from Rockland Gears, and the rear is a Getrag unit from a Cadillac CTS-V. The suspension is AFCO, and the aero is a Car of Tomorrow wing with a big splitter up front. You can also get some glimpses of the 25 gallon endurance fuel cell filler on the back window. Tires are 275 Hoosiers on a 15x10 wheel.
The camera car has an almost identical drivetrain but is on smaller Toyo tires. The camera is directly under the intake so you get some pretty entertaining sounds.

This video shows the customer on his first track day with the car, feeling out the fresh build and getting used to this power/weight ratio. The track is the Grand Junction Motor Speedway.
