It has the same amount of power as the Toyota version...considering it's the same engine / ECU combo.

EDIT: Tree'd by the motorpedia again...

Gave it a wash today and then pulled the camera out

For those with a memory, these pics are taken at the same spot I took my first proper MX5 pics albeit in a different season.

My morning commute means I keep passing the only one I've seen in the UK but it's exactly like yours, apart from the number plate. I had to get the MX-5 out this week just so I didn't feel quite as jealous. :D

I wonder how much it would cost, too.

They are releasing pricing next week. I reckon that would be on par power to weight ratio as my f6

would a turbo make this any better. The true answer is no. It isnt what it is all about.
