The result would depend on the location. Take both vehicles and place them
on, for example, the Nürburgring (or any other 'real' driving situation for
that matter) and the Miata will win easily every time and by huge margins.

Straight line only! To even things up, we'll make the Miata a white
one, not one of the slower colors*, OK?

*Leon could explain it if he were here!

I was wondering why they did not paint the rocket car white......

How would you like to do 1050 mph in a land vehicle? Faster than a round
from a .357 magnum, that is impressive!

No, I wouldn't..... at 1050 mph you probably couldn't hear the radio
and what's a drive w/o tunes?

"Think" is all you'd manage, since over Mach 1 you'd not be able to hear
it. :)

Question is, can you hear the radio or are you outrunning those sound waves
too? Or, are the sound waves being generated at 1050 mph at their inception
and being propelled faster than that, in the forward direction, causing them
(theoretically) to be heard? Chew on that one! Inquiring minds want to know.
