Do you really need an excuse? 🙂
I can’t wait till more car maker jump on the turbo wagon. Next miata will have 1.3l turbo and weigh 2200lb. Sounds exciting to me.[/quote]
Oh I’ve thought about it! I think there’s a complete kit for my car at around $1,700. The problem is, guys with big turbos on this platform have serious traction issues (as in standing on it in 5th at normal freeway speeds will just smoke the tires), and running bolt-ons/ethanol with the appropriate tune will make you nearly as fast anyway.
Nothing like a factory turbo. I’m bummed the “baby Boxster” was pushed out. A 2.5 liter turbo flat-4 (behind the seats, of course) in a 2,500-2,700lb car would have been legendary the moment it was released.
