I don't know if you have already scene this but its the Mazda RS Coupe (MX-5
hardtop) shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon

Ooh yuck. A permanent hardtop jellybean that looks like one that's
been sucked for too long.

Quote: "the shape is said to be more aerodynamic, which will lead to
a higher top speed"

This inspires me to ask how many on this list have found the top
speed of their car?

A "friend" of mine recommends the highway south of National Park.
5km of dead straight road with 100% copcar visibility. My "friend"
pushed it to 175kph three times just to confirm that:

(a) it was pulling strongly all the way and wanted to go faster

(b) it felt solid as a rock and comfortable to drive

(c) my jellybean is limited (by its computer?) to 175kph and starts
missing / coughing at exactly that speed

Mark, the limiter is easy to remove, its just a screw in the back of the
speedo. Have a search on here or on the Miata.net garage section. Erm, not
that I would know anything about exceeding 175kmh *cough*
