| Message: | This third-generation car, which debuts in early March at the Geneva motor show, will draw power from a new 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder, up from a 1.8-liter engine in the Miata today. The bigger engine will turn out about 20 more horses as well, reaching upward of 160 hp. The torque climbs to about 140 lb-ft. Shifting duty will fall to one of two six-speed units, either a manual or automatic with a shift-it-yourself-via-paddles option. Physically the Miata has grown in just about every measurable dimension, with a 2.6-inch longer wheelbase, as well as a 3.0-inch wider front track and 2.1-inch wider rear track. Overall length and height have increased nominally, each by just 0.8 inch, but the Miata is now measurably wider, by 1.6 inches.   bellwilliam in SOCAL 2003 Z4 3.0, Steptronic 2004 Pontiac GTO Beck's Porsche 550 Spyder, 4 speed, 2.2L, 1300lb, 150 dyno HP http://www.cardomain.com/id/bellwilliam  | ||||
