Awsome car. For those who have driven a turbo miata know how incredible they really can be.
Personally, Id get a NA version with a flyin miata turbo but atleast Mazda is trying. Whats the cost of this thing?

So what if it has a small intercooler? If it's making 180bhp with that lil intercooler, it'll probably make over 200 bhp with a heftier FMIC and some tuning.
I personally think the car is pretty sick. This car with a 3" exhaust, FMIC, and ECU tuning will toast an S2000 on the streets or the track or the auto-x(does this make it more of a driver's car?), and have gobs of torque on a turbo that virtually has 0 lag whatsoever. The powerband is practically like an n/a car, no need to "worry about staying up in vtec".
S2000 may look a lot better, but it should...it's more money.
