It's not a mazdaspeed kit, that's a one off job that cost around 10K to do. I used to drool over it when I first saw it and was using my GSL as a daily a few years back.

There used to be a kit to make the 1st gen look like an old Jaguar E-type convertible. It came complete with bracing and instructions for cutting the roof off.

Yea, there's a 1st Gen running around here with a kit exactly like that! Or at least there used to be. Purple, big wing, and I believe it had Corvette taillights ( )

When I had my 2.3 Stang, I was scared to race him, but now I'd run it anyday!

Yeah, that looks a lot like a 944 in the front. Still looks good, though.

The reason it looks like a 944 if because the kit is for a 944. Its modified to fix his rx7. I did a bunch of research on his car along time ago, but i forgot his website. Its a turbo GSL-SE, and i managed to pull up some old info www.mazspeed.com did about it.
