Mazdaspeed is officially coming to the US!!!

I believe this was released simultaneously with the ny auto show....

http://www.mazdausa.com/mazdaspeed/

Things are looking good for mazda enthusiasts. I believe a MAZDASPEED turbocharged RX-8 should be on the way if everything goes well!

I need to start saving for that Z06 killer that the next RX-7 needs to be

Don't bet one a turbocharged RX-8 you will probably never see on from factory. Japanese is walking away from the turbo. You may see a tuned NA RX-8 with 280hps. But I don't think you will see Mazda/Mazdaspeed build a turbo one.

Umm...why are they putting out a turbocharged Protege then?

But I do agree, they probably won't be making any FD parts.

MazdaComp (Team Support) changed its name to Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development according the literature I got about a month ago. I like the name Mazdaspeed, and I am glad they did it.

That protege is pretty much a Turbocharged MP3 from the loks of it. I think the MP3 had like 140, so this one is a bit more powerful. sweet car.

Coz the car is not tuned by Japanese Mazdaspeed. It's tuned by Callaway and just put the Mazdaspeed name one it. It's not a Mazdaspeed car at all.
