Either I missed it or Mazda did not have the 2006 MX-5 3rd Generation Limited car on display. I did, however, get
plenty of time in the gray MX-5 on the floor. Also there was the race-ready MX-5 on display.

All items shown on the race MX-5 will be sold through Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development and the upgrades include:

ENGINE
