Ah - that is also a result of weight transfer.
The guys sticking V8s in Miatas had lots of wheel spin - you can only get so
much power to the road.
The turbo Fiero, which is mid-engined, just digs in and goes, it doesn't
spin very much at all. Which is why the big power LS2 transplants give much
better results in the Fiero than the Solstice.
Now just think of a blown Miata engine in an MGB....

A little while ago I got to drive an M65 blown Mazda Miata. It was
pretty awesome, not really comparable to anything you can do with a
Judson or Shorrock. There was so much torque, the tires would break
loose at freeway speeds without downshifting.
