Slant six in a Miata ? Why ???

Back in the day, before it turned into a 30 minute commercial, I used to watch Gearz. Back when he actually worked on cars, he took a Miata and put a kit of body panels on it that made it look like some kind of bad *** small Ferrari race car. Then he did a lot of suspension work on it and put a powerful smaller V-8 in it. It was an awesome lookin, screaming little car. like the famous /6, but WHY???
