You almost had me believing but then I saw it still had an 86x86 bore/stroke, a 12.5:1 compression ratio (impossible for turbo with normal fuel), and "Available AWD" ...Yeah, not happening. LOL

1. The cached version from both 08/08 and 08/11 were the same as today.

08/08 - The Googz
http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...gbv=1&&ct=clnk

08/11 - Teh Bingz
http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=htt...3S79BRCLCt6eAw


2. The HP and Torque peaks are at exactly the same RPM NA and Turbo. Not likely.

Sorry but...

FAKE

You should tell that to Vortech, Jackson Racing and Works, might make them rethink their product before they end up in a world of hurt for blowing up hundreds of motors...

Hmm... well, I guess it's not impossible but I thought that majorly increased chance of knock and other problems without special fuels.

I reloaded the page and the 2017 model came up and it only showed 247 HP and 225 TQ? So they are dropping the power after 2016?

Don't forget SkyActiv runs at 14:1 on pump gas, I was taught in school that 13:1 was the ceiling pretty much within months of SkyActiv coming out. Modern computer controls, analysis tools, and DI systems are quickly opening up new possibilities.

Good point. I wouldn't want back seat sound. Very crowded.

I know lol that's why I thought them leaving off the weight comparison only for the miata was no coincidence ha ha

Weell you see Mr Tcoat, the slogan attempts to indicate that it's like being in the front row of a concert without ever having to leave the comfort of your mode of transportation.

There is an option for TRD Alloy Wheels and all-season tires (at least in the Southeast region, which is sometimes different than the rest of the US). Stupid expensive though, and not much better than the standard wheels.

I would actually consider the TRD wheels.. Those stock rims agitate me.
