The car wasn't made for drag racing.
Thinking it is isn't too smart on your part.

What I'd like to know is why the F*CK are you trying to drag a convertible, which has the crappiest set-up to do this in the first place?
(i.e. 3.90:1 stock rear end?)

I tough all verts had a 4.1 because of the weight? even those with auto trannys, although the auto coupe's have a 3.909, or do i have it backward?
Sorry i'm to lazy to jack up the vert make some marks and spin the wheels...

All US-spec convertibles should have the 3.9 rear end.
The 3.9 compensates for the auto trans and increased weight to comply with CAFE mileage rules for Mazda.
