I heard that mazda is going to release a rotary edition miata in a couple of years. I also heard its going to be like 240 hp. That would be so crazy, that thing will be racing motorcycles hehe

 

the honda S2000 is Miata-sized and has 240hp... and ts performance can be described as "pathetic".

 

could it be heavy?

 

A 1990 miata weighs 2116 lbs. And a 99 is just 2299. The S2000 is 2810 lbs.

 

how the hell can you say the s2000's performance is "pathetic" when comparing it to a miata? i love both cars but you're a friggin' idiot if you think the miata has enough power while the s2000 isn't up to par

 

yah that miata would fly if it goes to producition...hmmm where did u "hear" this from? if u read it online can i please have to link? i wanan read on it...it sounds very interesting

 

One of my buddies told me. I'll ask him where and I'll let you know, k?

 

Here it is... it's the September issue of Road and Track:
"But the next-generation Miata, due in 2004 or 2005, will have a rotary option. Look for power to be about 200 to 250 bhp, giving the roadster zero-to-60 mph times in the 5.0-second range. The car will be built on a shortened version of the RX-8's platform, and may come in both coupe and convertible forms"

 

i read in motortrend that its gonna b more like 2006...but yah its gonna heavily barrow from the rx8 platform....


jus thinking about it gets me excited haha
