Oh boy 14.1 power to weight ratio...yipee!

Was hoping for 230hp turbocharged, 28 MPG highway.

You can do that, just like the Elise, but you still have to drive it right to win. :)

Once you get below 8:1 power to weight the cars drive themselves, you should try it sometime.

I'm sure its fun, but I'm actually a fan of trying to out drive faster cars. :)

I'll keep that in mind when I run into your HS Mini at ECR next time

Don't hit me.

The operative word was "try." I'm not expecting to outrun your computer-driven AWD twin-turbo Godzilla. But I would love to play sometime.

Won't be a Godzilla, it will be about 8 seconds a lap faster than Godzilla and completely analog.

So, purpose-built race car?

Talked with Mazda today at the Paris Auto Show and they gave me one of the 25th anniversary paperback books they were handing out to the press. :)

They said it will be a choice of engines: 1.5L or 2.0L and the soft top will be available in the US in September of 2015, hard top in December 2015.

It's a beautiful car in person! Love it, but since it was on the rotating platform, nobody could sit in it for pictures.

I put pics up on my FB page... Security settings limit it to friends though.

You can change your security settings for each picture to make them public, you know.

**Nails** · 10-12-2014, 12:00 PM

Or even better, post them here!

I'll post some here after I get to Barcelona. I have a conference call with a customer in less than 20 minutes then have to run to CDG to catch my flight.

**channelmaniac** · 10-13-2014, 03:08 PM

Pics... All low res. I have 16MP versions on my PC though.

**Nails** · 10-13-2014, 03:26 PM

Thanks! Amazing how much the front looks like Jaguar.

**general default** · 10-13-2014, 07:36 PM

What is that bright aluminum "C" clamp looking part at the base of the front spring? Does the sway bar attach to that? Pic M7

It looks like that is the stand supporting the chassis (pic M9)

I think it looks like a catfish!

The header looks interesting and not restrictive at all.

That's the intake runners. No header pics showing above.
