There seems to be a pretty active Miata club in AR, I might have to join and check out some of their events. There are some absolutely gorgeous scenic roads in the state.

Yep, we have a pretty good local club. FYI, if you ever have the need, we just happen to have one of the best Miata Doc's (Mazda Master Technition) in the country living right here in the LR Metro area. His name is JR Mills. He is the founder of the Arkansas Miata Club and can be found at Sherwood Tire on JFK blvd, just south of Kiehl Ave.

I've driven my friends mazda speed miata. Its turbo(so yes mazda did have a factory turbo miata in the states), and fun as hell to drive. Its got a tiny little brick sized intercooler. LOL.

And the best part about Miatas is that their motor is SO overbuilt. They can take huge boost and make lots of power on stock internals.

I bet the MSM goes like stink. My past vehicles have been a Toyota minivan, a Fit, and a Civic, so even though it only has about 140 horses, the Miata feels downright quick.

yeah i think the mazda speed miata puts out like 7.5lbs boost stock. Or something like that. But the little thing is pretty fast for 175HP or whatever its got. LOL. Its got strong mid range power though. It goes from 50-70 in like 7 seconds or something. More than I can say for the Fit. LOL
