Featured car: Captain Bob (1995 turbo)

Captain Bob

1995 turbo

Captain Bob is our answer to the question "what would it be like if Mazda had built a Mazdaspeed in 1995?". It runs our emissions legal Stage 1 turbo system that gives about 80% more power than stock and a suspension that is designed to give excellent control without beating you up. We also had some fun with the interior, making it feel special while still making it feel like a Miata.
