Hi Folks,
I seem to remember reading an article in NZ Autocar about the Miata (MX5 to
us here) several years ago. At that stage Mazda were trialling (read
shoehorning) a 3 litre V6 from their saloon car range in the MX5. The
performance figures looked pretty darn good. I don't why it never
continued - I suspect the engine size tax laws in Japan had something to do
with it.
