Described as both "classic" and "modern," the Mazda Miata is an unqualified sports car hit. Drawing inspiration from the likes of the Lotus Elan, MGB, and Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce, Mazda engineers devised a fully new roadster that combined enthusiast's nostalgia for 1960s top-down fun with the performance and reliability of a modern sports car. Since the Miata's 1989 introduction, Mazda has sold more than 450,000 units worldwide. Miata owners boast the world's largest single-model car club, in addition to setting class lap records at numerous race tracks. The basic details of the Miata make it a very special sport car�even in stock form. Like all great sports cars, however, the Miata can be readily modified to meet your special needs, whether it is for road racing, autocrossing, or simply maximizing street performance. In Mazda Miata Performance Handbook, author and former Mazda engineer, Norman H. Garrett III, presents the best performance enhancements culled from thousands of enthusiasts who have been tinkering, fiddling, hammering, and modifying their Miatas. Without a doubt, your Miata is a special car. By reading Mazda Miata Performance Handbook you can learn how to make it a GREAT CAR!
