People (except for @tennisfreak) are mad sleeping on the fact that Fiat will install it's 1.4L Turbo multi-air in two versions, base and Abarth into the Miata chassis. That sets the engine at 160 WHP and 180+ WTQ from the factory.

More importantly, these engines only need a tune to reach a reliable >200 WHP and >200 WTQ and have been doing it for years. http://www.fiat500usaforum.com/showt...f-ECU-upgrades

Miata fanboys might be sad to know that the hot Miata won't be badged Mazda at all but instead Fiat and it could be the sports car bargain of the decade.

**Would still take my 2+2 ESC FR-S over it though for a DD.
