I've got an '05 MazdaSpeed Miata. With the things done I'm about 220ish and 2400 since ading a roll bar and my fat self. It's a total blast while surprising a lot of mustang/camaros. Now I just need ecu, new turbo, wheels/tires, lower gearing and it's done. Full boost hits and I spin 1st through 3rd!
