Voltex is sponsored by evasive motorsport... relative to this type of auto racing (where a lot of the cars are independently funded rather than sponsored) they have very deep pockets, which is necessary to develop aero for cars

Like I said earlier, look at the Scorch Racing S15 or the MCA Hammerhead S13 (before the full carbon body in the new s13, which helped them cut only a second off their time @ Sydney). Both are top tier cars. One is built by a privateer, and the other a very small team. Money helps, but money isn't everything. The fact is these guys choose the platforms they do for a reason. Miatas are cheap as hell. If they thought it would be as good of a platform, they would use one. Like I said, you can exaggerate and say money is everything and stuffing a v8 in the lightest chassis you can find would equal the same results, but you would be wrong or else there would be proof. End of story.
