Because our engine is designed better from the factory...

PLUS a turbo car is more responsive to mods than an NA engine will ever be

The MS8 does not exist, ANYWHERE, and it probably never will.

If you guys are tired of this type of threats wait till the mx-5 mazdaspeed comes out

althoug knowing mazda they will turbocharge the 2.0lt and give it 200hp instead of using the 2.3lt

Just add turbo and buy the MS bodykit and every MS part for the 8 and you have your very own MS8.

I went by the Mazda dealer nearby where I live (Near City of Industry in OC), their MS3 were all marked up. Although I would not mind having one, I would take the WRX over it for a turbo car (or STi ;P).
