Jalop? Yes. Sell well? Eh...

THIS ON THE OTHER HAND IS MUCH NEEDED. Seriously, why couldn't the NC get this bad boy as a last hooray before being replaced by the ND? A 270-hp Mazdaspeed NC would be fun as all hell.

In both cases, the engine uses the stock main block, lower block cradle and head of the 2.2-liter production diesel. Added is a dual-compound turbocharger with 55-58 psi of boost. Other internal pieces will depend somewhat on the final rules of each class. Components needed to fit the engine to the appropriate chassis will be adapted for each series. It's anticipated the GX version will yield around 400 bhp with the LMP2 edition at some 450 bhp, depending on the final rules.

I see you wrote "Miata" when you very clearly meant to type "Mazda 6".

A Mazdaspeed5 would be so pointless and yet so awesome to justify getting a wagon for the family.

Mazda needs to make only Mazdaspeed cars, with manuals.

FIFTY FIVE PSI OF BOOST!?!??!?!?!?!?!

HOLY SHIT

Because, small child of indeterminate ancestral lineage, the Miata doesn't need a diesel.

With a turbo diesel.

But then they would close down because they couldn't sell enough cars.
