    Rumorpile: Mazda Could Add More Horsepower for 2019 MX-5 Miata

      An additional 26 horsepower you say...

    There will always be those who want more power in whatever they are driving. Take for example the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Its 2.0L four-cylinder produces 155 horsepower. We found it to be more than enough for driving fun, but there are those who think more power will make it better. It seems their wish could be coming true.

    Road & Track uncovered a VIN notice sent by Mazda to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that reveals the 2019 MX-5 Miata will a 2.0L four-cylinder producing 181 horsepower - up 26 from the current model. The question is how Mazda could reach that number. A journalist on Twitter posted a possible clue, saying the engine will feature a reworked head. 

    It is unclear whether or not Mazda is planning on making other changes to the engine to reach 181 horsepower. As Road & Track notes, the most common aftermarket upgrades for the MX-5 (computer, exhaust, and intake) only add around 12 horsepower. 

    A Mazda spokesman said they don't comment on future products when asked.

    • These idiots are too stupid to understand that Tariff Turd47 has destroyed any desire for people to come here and spend their hard-earned money. Far better places to visit around the globe where your money will go farther. I have noticed how bad it has become at Home Depot with terrible service, no knowledge by those that do work there plus their founder, chairman, CEO is a Tariff Turd47 Lover, as such I have moved my business to Lowe's and the shopping experience is much better. These kinds of Idiots no longer get my business. Home Depot’s Ken Langone ‘Sold On Trump’ After Tariff Criticism Key Facts Langone, 89, told CNBC he has “never been more excited about the future of America” than he is right now, and that, “like it or not, this guy is getting things done.” He praised Trump’s strike on Iran as “miraculous” and said the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” has “a lot of merit” and will trigger significant economic growth. He told CNBC in 2024 he was afraid Trump would spend the next four years “getting even,” but reversed his position on Tuesday, saying, “I’m happy to say, I’m comfortable he’s not doing that.” Langone said “people are walking with more bounce” and, when asked about his previous criticisms of Trump, said, “when you make a mistake, admit it.” Clearly this IDIOT is only talking with other Billionaires and is clueless to how bad this country has become.
    • 7 people arrested and yet the Jewelry is still missing, crazy. The fact that the DNA evidence was in a database would imply that either the people are already criminals from the past or France is tracking DNA of people even though they say DNA testing is illegal in France. Very interesting, will be more so to see if they actually recover the jewelry, I suspect it is already melted down, diamonds cut and gone forever.
    • WE are going to go into deeper and deeper decline.  UPS is cutting good union jobs and hiring subcontractors, as union busting is more legally possible now.  I am switching my love of cars to a love of cycling and hiking, and have been for a long time.  A used Subaru that can get either me, or me and my bike, to the nearest trail or backroad is all I ask.  Would trade my US citizenship for Canadian or Mexican, without question...or French, or Italian, or Scottish, or Irish, or Spanish, or German, or Polish, or Japanese, or any number of other countries.  We are an international embarrassment.  This is an interesting story. Want to visit the Louvre when i visit France.  The people who scream freedom the loudest are all about freedom until its their guy destroying freedom.  The Scion Xb, the original variant, and a Kia Soul had a love child, with some sort of birth defect.  I get to be like Olds Hurst and put up a music Video!
